The Causes of Present Discontents in India is a critical analysis of British colonial rule in India, authored by a prominent writer or political figure during the late 19th century. The book examines the root causes of widespread unrest in India, attributing discontent to economic exploitation, oppressive British policies, and a lack of political representation. The author highlights key issues such as excessive taxation, land exploitation, the destruction of local industries, and denial of basic rights. The book underscores the British government's failure to address India's grievances and its refusal to grant self-governance, which fueled demands for reform and independence.

Charles James O'Cahan O'Donnell's (1849–1934) was a work primarily revolved around his roles as a colonial administrator and politician. In India, he handled key issues like famine relief and tenant rights and served in roles such as Superintendent for the 1891 census. O'Donnell was critical of Lord Curzon's administration, especially the 1905 partition of Bengal, which he opposed. Upon returning to Britain, he became a Liberal MP, where he voiced criticism of colonial policies. He contributed to British-Celtic studies, commissioning the "O'Donnell Lectures." Though his work wasn’t concentrated on writing books, his legacy shaped political discourse and academic studies of Celtic and British history.
