Field Marshal Lord Roberts

The texts “Indian History Sourcebook: Field Marshal Lord Roberts: When Queen Victoria Became Empress of India, 1877,” and “Modern History Sourcebook: Dadabhai Naoroji: The Benefits of British Rule, 1871″ explains the implication of British rule in India from a historian’s perspective. The narration by the British writer named Field Marshal Lord Roberts commences with 1876 preparations for the arrival of the queen in India. The exploration of the expedition of the writer eases comprehension of life in India. The Indian writer Dadabhai Naoroji equally describes the experience of India under British rule while focusing on implications. As a result, the review of both accounts is essential in judging the historical significance of the interaction between the British and India in the 19th century.

Field Marshal Lord Roberts approaches the discussion from a chronological perspective recounting the experience after the event of 1876. The narrator explains the genealogy of the preparations and the reality that defined the lives of Indians. The British writer presents a story that highlights the connection with the accounts of the Indian writer on the implication of British rule. However, the composer recounts the experience during the rule, the doctrine, and the implication. Naoroji connects personal accounts to reality conceptualized by the masses, even though the writer sounds subjective. In terms of differences, Robert’s publication sheds light on the experiences of the masse in India from a firsthand account. He laments about the reality, unlike Naoroji, who approaches the discussion as an account of the view of the impact of British rule..

Despite the similarity in the topic of exploration of events in India in times of British rule, the role of the British in both texts differed. Naoroji texts highlight variation in experience from Robert’s view.
