New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS) Of all the political tempests that swirled around the governance of British India, few reveal the intricate power struggles between the Crown, its ministers, and the East India Company as starkly as the recall of Sir George Barlow in 1806.

The matter became a crucible for defining the very nature of British authority in its burgeoning Eastern Empire.
