Exploring the complexities of colonial relationships, the book delves into the lives of mixed-race families in early British India, highlighting the social anxieties surrounding race, class, and gender. By examining the experiences of various individuals—from high-ranking officials to indigenous women—it reveals how these dynamics influenced societal norms and the colonial government's concerns over identity.
