Book Description
In Slavery, Abolitionism and Empire in India, 1772–1843, Andrea Major asks why, at a time when the East India Company's expansion in India, British abolitionism, and the missionary movement were all at their height, was the existence of slavery in India so often ignored, denied, or excused? By exploring Britain's ambivalent relationship with both real and imagined slaveries in India and the official, evangelical, and popular discourses that surrounded them, she seeks to uncover the various political, economic, and ideological agendas that allowed East Indian slavery to be represented as qualitatively different from its transatlantic counterpart.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Law and Custom of Slavery in British India, in a Series of Letters to Thomas Fowell Buxton, Esq. There are various reasons which encourage me to prose cute the consideration of this subject. Slavery is indeed only one of many evils under which India suffers, and I will even admit that its operation is less extensive and its effects less injurious than some other evils that I could mention. But it is of such a nature that, while it exists and wherever it exists, it checks the improvement of human character and the development of human society; aids all other bad influences and impedes all good influences; and its removal, therefore, will not only remove a large amount of 'positive injustice, degradation, and suffering, but is essential to the free and salutary working of every other measure that may or can be devised for the advancement of mankind in the country where it prevails. This is the inherent and radical attraction of the subject; but there are also collateral and subordinate inducements to bring it before the public.
