An Imperial Vision: Indian Architecture and Britain's RajOxford University Press, 2002 - 302 من الصفحات An Imperial Vision examines the relationship between culture and power expressed in the architectural forms the British employed in India.

Viewed together they enhanced the hold of the empire over the ruler and the ruled alike. |
