Annotation Political conditions of Myanmar immediately after the annexation (1886-87) as seen through the Indian press. The
people were governed by a new master. Rebels were branded as dacoits by a critical Indian press which ridiculed and
attacked Lord Dufferin's direct administration. They called His Excellency a quack politician, not a farseeing statesman.
The press favoured a native prince on the Myanmar throne, a practice common in India. The press argumed that the
English were suppressing the so-called dacoits at the expense of Indian tax-payers.
