Dupleix and Clive: The Beginning of Empire - Gyan Books

About The Book: Dupleix and Clive: The Beginning of Empire by Henry Herbert Dodwell (1920) studies how British colonial rule in India emerged via the rivalry between Joseph‑François Dupleix of France and Robert Clive of Britain. Dodwell draws heavily on archival sources from Madras, the India Office, and French manuscripts to trace events like the War of the Austrian Succession, Dupleix’s successes and failures, Bussy’s role in the Deccan, and the overthrow of Siraj‑Ud‑Daula. The book describes the consolidation of British political and administrative power in Bengal and the Carnatic and analyzes the policies that laid foundations for the British Raj.
