Does anybody know anywhere good where I can find old legislation, specifically online archives or the like? I'm looking for the 'Government of India Act 1858' which basically outlined provisions transferring power from the East India Company, to the Crown and HMG. I've tried legislation.gov.uk, but had no luck finding it there. It's to do with one of my essays. Many thanks for your help

Ah all that terrible Imperial oppression following the Sepoy Mutiny...sorry Indian Uprising!

It's called "An Act for the better Government of India".

Is it a University essay?

Try the law library, sometimes they have very old legislation catalogues with such things in.

(PS shock horror and I hope i'm not shot for this but I actually think that, on balance, the British Empire was a good thing )

A question I usually ask myself when criticism is levelled at our colonial past is this:

"Are the people significantly better off in their new republics?"

The answer is a resounding 'no' for most, infact life has deteriorated for many.

I read an interesting article last year where a Yemen freedom fighter openly admitted he got it wrong and wished the British had never left, Jamaicans have expressed a similar view aswell and as for Hong Kong who never had a say on things the old colonial flag has been making an increased appearance year on year at every protest against the Chinese Administrators, much to the annoyance of the PRC.

Whilst Colonialism was wrong how is the current status-quo of numerous world dictators running both their country and their people into the ground any better?

But Audrey Campbell, president of the Toronto-based Jamaican Canadian Association, questioned the entire premise of the poll, saying many Jamaicans can in no way compare life now to what it was like under British rule because they were born after independence.

“That’s like saying, ‘I kind of like the concept of slavery. Who needs self government? Who wants the right to dictate their future? I’d rather have someone come in and tell me based on what they think.’ Seriously?” said Campbell, who was born in Jamaica after independence and came to Canada as a young girl.

“It’s such a broad statement . . . there are different contexts for each age group. What is so appealing about British colonialism that we’d want it?”

That quote summarises everything that stinks about political correctness.

Someone, supposedly true to their Jamaican roots (even though she loves it so much she doesn't live there), telling people who do actually live there they are wrong because they don't agree with her view of the world.

If she lived in the UK , they'd probably elevate her to the House of Lords (which she'd happily accept despite any previous "principles") and she'd be dictating policy to the sad deluded people who clearly aren't intelligent enough to work out what they think.

Since when did being a British Territory equate to slavery in these modern times? She's being sensationalist and controversial for the sake of it.

Look at Bermuda, has it's own parliament and elections yet is a British Overseas Territory.

Looking at the squalled conditions and crime taking place not so many miles away in Jamaica it's no wonder the majority of the population look at Bermuda and think "Perhaps life would've been better had the British stayed around."

After all we have responsibility to the people of Bermuda under their constitution to ensure there is 'good government' I would assume this is to protect them from a corrupt parliament.... The irony...
