Madness, Cannabis and Colonialism: The 'Native Only' Lunatic Asylums of British India 1857-1900
J. Mills
This fascinating, entertaining and often gruelling book by James Mills, examines the lunatic asylums set up by the British in nineteenth-century India. The author asserts that there was a growth in asylums following the Indian Mutiny, fuelled by the fear of itinerant and dangerous individuals, which existed primarily in the British imagination.
