The Lasting Legacy of Colonial Cemeteries in South Asia

Beschreibung

The work examines how colonial cemeteries reflect the British Empire's history in the region. Nearly two million Europeans were buried in these sites which documented imperial expansion. After 1947, the declining upkeep led to the formation of BACSA to preserve these historical markers amid postcolonial changes.
