Jon Wilson, a professor of the Department of History at King’s College London, is the author of "India Conquered," a 2016 book intended to rebut Ferguson's arguments in "Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World," who catalogues the negative elements of the British Raj, and describes the "Empire" TV program (2003) as "false and dangerous" Wilson agrees with Ferguson's point that the British innovations brought to India, civil services, education, and railways, had beneficial side effects, but faults them for being done in a spirit of self-interest rather than altruism.
