The trial of Maharaja Nanda Kumar: A Narrative Of A Judicial Murder

"The Trial of Maharaja Nanda Kumar A Narrative of a Judicial Murder" by H. Beveridge details the controversial trial and execution of Nanda Kumar, a prominent Bengali noble, in 1775. Beveridge argues that the trial, overseen by British officials including Sir Warren Hastings, was a miscarriage of justice, driven by political motivations. The book highlights the colonial judicial system's biases and the exploitation of Indian elites, offering a critical perspective on British rule and its legal practices in India.
