In 1901, J.D. Rees retired from the Civil Service. He was an active proponent of the Raj and wrote a number of books on British India. The Real India, first published in 1908, went through a number of editions. This is a reprint of the first edition that was published in 1908, by Methuen & Co., London, under title: The real India-Early history.--Later history.--The land system.--The government of India.--Revenues and taxation of the government of India.--Native states.--Russia in the East.--Unrest.--The congress.--Proposed reforms.--Social reform.--The economic policy of the Indian government.--Conclusion"The constitution of the Government of India is explained, its financial system, the policy pursued towards the native states and, on the frontier, the causes and character of the present unrest, and the connection therewith of the Hindoo Congress, the character of the reforms suggested by Mr Morley and Lord Minto, and now under the consideration of the local administrations and of the general public. A chapter follows on social reform, and incidentally some account is given of the domestic life of the Indians, a fascinating subject, and a mirror, as it seems to me, in many respects, of life in the pantheistic and polytheistic times, with which we were familiar, when we read the classics in school. A final chapter deals with the economic conditions of the country, and the economic policy of the Government of India." -from India; The Real India
