Of the Government and People of Indostan is an analytical essay by Robert Orme that examines the political structures, customs, and social organization of India during the 18th century. Drawing on his experiences with the East India Company, Orme provides insights into the administration, religious practices, and daily lives of Indian society. The work reflects a colonial viewpoint, aiming to inform British readers about Indian governance and culture, often through a Eurocentric lens typical of the period's scholarship.

Robert Orme (1728–1801) was a British historian and East India Company official known for his detailed accounts of British military operations in India. He served as a member of the Council at Fort St. George, Madras, and later focused on writing. His major work, A History of the Military Transactions of the British Nation in Indostan, remains a key source on 18th-century Anglo-Indian history, blending firsthand experience with scholarly research.
