India’s anticolonial leader Mo- handas Gandhi adopted a nonviolent protest strategy as the empire’s opposite: “Let it be remembered,” he wrote in 1921, “that violence is the keystone of the Government edifice.” But the hold of this much-documented ugly reality remains slippery.

Today there is neither agreement that the empire produced hell nor agreement that protestations of good intentions are an inadequate excuse.
