Summary

"This is an examination of the operation of the British colonial state in Eastern India during the Second World War. It studies the changes in wartime administration through an examination of the state policies of propaganda and information control: the distribution of print, film, wireless and oral publicity; the dissemination of material and medical aid; and the management of censorship and surveillance schemes. Based on a variety of archival sources, this study offers a new perspective on the impact of the conflict on the organisation and the dissolution of British administration in South Asia during the 1940s."--BOOK JACKET.
