An Imperialist Visionary: The Impact of Viceroy Curzon on British India.
This paper will indicate, Curzon was an imperialist in the idealistic sense of Kipling. Although at its roots British rule of India was maintained through political and military domination reinforced by an undeniably racist ideology, certain imperialists such as Curzon believed that the British presence in India could be ennobled by a sense of duty, and an obligation to govern the subcontinent both wisely and fairly. In the end, as will be shown, the idealism of Curzon was overwhelmed by the brutal (and racist) realities of imperial government. However, his vision and reforms - some successful and some not - mark his time as Viceroy as the pinnacle of British imperial rule in India. 10 pgs. 20 f/c. 3b.
