Publication Date: 14/07/2005
Smuggling as Subversion is the first comprehensive account of the opium industry in western India during the colonial period, from its beginnings to the mid-th century. This is an in-depth examination of the use of opium during colonial times, and at the same time the fascinating story of how Indian merchants developed a smuggling enterprise that subverted the East India Companys monopoly in the drug, setting in motion a chain of events that led to the first Opium War in China.
