Jewel In The Crown is a drama adaptation based on
the Raj Quartet novels by Paul Scott. Set in the fictional city of Mayapore
between 1942 and 1947--the years leading up to Indian independence--,it examines
the complex relationship which existed between the British Empire and its
"subjects", and depicts the lives and loves of people caught in the turbulence
of India struggling to break the chains of oppression. The series specifically
centres on the experiences of a public school-educated Indian named Hari Kumar
(Art Malik), who is falsely accused of raping a British school girl. Whilst
incarcerated, Hari is bullied and tortured by a sadistic British officer (played
by Tim Pigott-Smith), who is aware of his innocence.
