"Empire Building" (by Rosie Llewellyn-Jones) details how the British East India Company physically constructed British India from 1690-1860, focusing on "political architecture"—buildings, railways, docks, etc.—that asserted power, defined space, and integrated India into Britain's global network, revealing how colonial construction shaped society, economy, and local responses, integrating engineering, politics, and culture in its narrative, particularly in Calcutta.
