Abstract
This chapter examines an 1870 dispute about opium smuggling that unfolded in the British Indian colony of Burma. It traces how a small intra-bureaucratic disagreement escalated into a large and enduring controversy over how to observe an invisible activity, the political economic and moral significance of that activity in a non-European setting, as well as a colonial state’s proper regulatory role.
