Summary

This is a detailed historical study of the unsettled half century from the 1790s to the 1830s when the British East India Company (EIC) strove to establish control over the colonial north-eastern frontiers spanning the River Brahmaputra to the Burmese border. It offers a much-needed reframing of regional histories of South Asia away from the sub-continental Indian mainland to the varied social ecologies of Sylhet, Cachar, Manipur, Jaintia, and Khasi hills
