"The Political Banditti Assailing the Saviour of India 2" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1786. Known for his sharp wit and keen eye for political and social commentary, Gillray's works often targeted prominent figures and events of his time, and this particular piece is no exception. The print is a sequel to an earlier work by Gillray, continuing his critique of the political landscape in Britain during the late 18th century.

In "The Political Banditti Assailing the Saviour of India 2," Gillray employs his characteristic style of exaggerated features and dramatic scenes to convey his message. The central figure in the print is Warren Hastings, the former Governor-General of India, who was embroiled in a lengthy and highly publicized impeachment trial. Hastings is depicted as the "Saviour of India," a title that reflects his controversial role in expanding British influence in the Indian subcontinent. Surrounding him are various political figures, portrayed as banditti or bandits, who are assailing him with accusations and attacks.

Gillray's work is notable for its intricate details and the way it encapsulates the tumultuous political atmosphere of the time. The print serves as both a critique of Hastings' opponents and a commentary on the broader issues of corruption, power, and colonialism. Through his art, Gillray not only entertained his contemporaries but also provided a visual record of the political debates and scandals that shaped the era.

"The Political Banditti Assailing the Saviour of India 2" remains an important example of 18th-century British satire, reflecting the complexities of the period's politics and the enduring power of visual media to influence public opinion.
