Book Summary
About the Book: Simla The Summer Capital Of British India
The summer capital of the Raj, Simla came to be known as “the workshop of the
Empire”. A visitor awed by this hill-town wrote, “Every pigeonhole contains a
potential revolution, every office box cradles an embryo of war or death”. The
heady mixture of mountain air, political power and social snobbery attracted all
manner of people to Simla: ambitious careerists, calculating matrons, enigmatic
adventuresses, bored wives, and dashing roués, often with disastrous results. A
letter home lamented “the pure atmosphere and foul rumours, ruined prospects,
guilty passions, frivolity, intrigue…jealousy, madness…remorse unmitigated…”
