Quotes by Nick Robins (?)

“According to William Bolt's celebrated account, 'various and innumerable' were the 'methods of oppressing the poor weavers, such as fines, imprisonments, floggings, forcing bonds on them, etc.' ... the Company's practices led to a shocking form of self-mutilation, stating that 'instances have been known of their cutting off their thumbs to prevent their being forced to wind silk.”
― Nick Robins, The Corporation That Changed the World: How the East India Company Shaped the Modern Multinational
