description: An Imperial Vision examines the relationship between culture and power expressed in the architectural forms the British employed in India. From the great monuments of New Delhi to the most obsure structures in dusty country towns, these buildings visibly represented in stone the choicesthe British made in politics as imperial rulers. Viewed together they enhanced the hold of the empire over the ruler and the ruled alike.
