ABSTRACT
The tragic story of the British invasion and occupation of India in contemporary times is told in The Raj Quartet. India was known as the "Jewel in the Crown" of the British Empire, and the relationship between the people of India and their colonial masters was, to say the least, fraught with complication. Paul Scott crafts the tales of a large number of fascinating Indian citizens, each of whose destinies are influenced in some way by the British legal system. He discusses the national, personal, and historical joys as well as the terrible events that occurred as a result of this law’s dissolution. He produced fascinating identities, including Indians and British, Muslims and Hindu citizens, who illustrate the fluid links between rulers and subjects. These identities include citizens. He does this in a way that is not overly emotional, nor does he grumble, nor does he appear bewildered.
