I take your point. And probably necessary in a passing reference. But refuse to be mollified! 😄
I think it remains important and useful to differentiate between means of colonial accumulation. In the EIC case the complexity and rapid changes at times can tell us a lot.

Interesting... And I didn't previously know the origin of the name, so thanks for that!
I suppose if you clime to the top of the rocks you could claim to have conquered Clive. Maybe that's the answer to all this.

Even if this was more accessible, I doubt it would make any difference. So MUCH academic writing, often entire sub-fields of decades of scholarship, is so easily ignored or waved away.

Depressing how much public history is just vibes. I bet she's never been there, and this belief is based on a few throw away lines in the introduction to Dalrymple's Anarchy.
The next generation of Clives contributed far more clear cut loot to the collection and made a museum in Powis to show off.

Interesting to note how hard everyone is trying to avoid using the name 'Clive' though.
