Small Wars and Pacification in the British Empire: A Case Study of Lushai Hills, 1850-1900
The author examines the transition from indirect to direct British rule in the Lushai Hills (1850-1900). He distinguishes between 'small wars'—short, punitive military expeditions used to project power—and 'pacification,' a longer-term process involving both kinetic measures (paramilitary forces) and non-kinetic elements (infrastructure, education, and healthcare). The study argues that this 'winning hearts and minds' approach, backed by the threat of force, was more complex than simple brute force and served as a model for imperial consolidation.
