Description:
Political conditions of Myanmar immediately after the annexation (1886-87) as seen through the Indian press. The
people were governed by a new master. Rebels were branded as dacoits by a critical Indian press which ridiculed and
attacked Lord Dufferin?s direct administration. They called His Excellency a quack politician, not a farseeing statesman.

English were suppressing the so-called dacoits at the expense of Indian tax-payers.....Subject Terms:
