About this item

Content

This file contains papers relating to visits by the Royal Indian Navy to ports in East Africa and the Indian Ocean. The majority of the papers are exchanges between the Colonial Office in London and British officials in East Africa. The bulk of the papers convey serious British concerns about Indian ambitions across the region, particularly in places such as Mauritius where there is a sizable Indian majority. Many of the folios discuss the reception accorded to visiting Indian officers and naval staff in East African port cities as a measure of loyalty to Britain.
