A proposito di questo titolo

In 1877, Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India, a title that transformed the British monarchy and the subcontinent. But behind the glittering Delhi Durbar lay a story of brutal suppression, strategic manipulation, and a queen who never set foot in her empire's jewel. This episode explores the machinations of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, who pushed through the Royal Titles Act to secure Victoria's new crown; the role of the Viceroy Lord Lytton in staging the grand proclamation; and the devastating Great Famine of 1876–78 that killed millions even as the empire toasted its empress. We also examine the symbolism of the Imperial Crown of India, the controversy over the title that nearly toppled a government, and the lingering question: did Victoria, who learned Urdu and hired an Indian servant, truly care for her Indian subjects, or was it all political theater?
