| Summary | "Drug Smuggling and Taking in India and Burma" by Roy K. Anderson is a non-fiction account written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the complex issues surrounding drug smuggling and the consumption of narcotics such as opium, morphia, cocaine, and hemp drugs in the regions of India and Burma. Anderson, drawing from his own experiences as Superintendent of the Burma Excise Department, provides insights into the operations of smugglers and the societal implications of drug use, offering a perspective not commonly found in existing literature. The opening of the work sets the stage for a thorough exploration of drug smuggling, beginning with a discussion on the nature of smugglers and their operations. Anderson reflects on the perception of smugglers as notorious criminals while revealing that many are often well-established merchants who employ cunning tactics to evade the law. He highlights the economic aspects of smuggling, including the significant profits generated from high demand for these illicit drugs. Additionally, the narrative hints at the societal challenges posed by drug addiction and the complex relationship between law enforcement and smuggling, promising a deeper analysis in subsequent chapters.
