"Chronicles of Dustypore: A Tale of Modern Anglo-Indian Society" by H. S. Cunningham is a story set in 19th-century Anglo-India, where new British rule clashes with tough environments. It explores how society changes as military power turns into civil governance through characters like Mr. Strutt and Vernon, who are important in the Salt Board's workings.
