| Summary | "Pondichéry, hoofdstad van Fransch-Indië" by Gerrit Verschuur is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of Pondicherry, the last vestige of French colonial power in India, highlighting its political complexities, cultural juxtaposition, and socio-economic conditions. It delves into the city's governance, architecture, local customs, and challenges faced in a predominantly British-ruled subcontinent. The narrative unfolds as the author recounts his experiences during a visit to Pondichéry, offering insights into its divided urban landscape—comprising a distinctly European "white city" and an Indian area—while navigating the contrasts between colonial life and indigenous cultures. Verschuur observes the local populace, their daily lives, and the intricate caste systems that dictate societal roles. He discusses trade, agriculture, and education, revealing both the vibrancy and struggles within the region. The book emphasizes the unique aspects of Pondichéry's identity, such as its historical significance, the influence of French culture, and the potential future of this once-flourishing colonial outpost amid the changing tides of imperial dominance.
