In INDIAN ADMINISTRATION : Menon's historical arc gives Warren Hastings credit for system-building inside the East India Company's chaotic early rule, positioning him in the lineage that produced the pre-1914 ICS Menon prizes.
In Ramtanu Lahiri O Tatkalin Bangosamaj : Hastings is invoked as the figure who personifies the Company's extraction-first mentality — his 1772 revenue letters, paired with famine data, are cited by Sastri to show that revenue collection continued and even increased through the catastrophic 1770 famine.
