"The Political Banditti Assailing the Saviour of India" is a notable political caricature by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1788. This work is a satirical commentary on the political turmoil surrounding Warren Hastings, the first Governor-General of Bengal, who was famously impeached in 1787. The caricature depicts Hastings as a beleaguered figure, metaphorically portrayed as the 'Saviour of India', being attacked by a group of bandits representing his political adversaries in England.

The artwork is rich in allegorical detail and serves as a critical narrative on the political machinations and public opinion of the time. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and intricate style, uses this piece to explore themes of corruption, power, and colonialism. The caricature not only reflects the political climate of the late 18th century but also showcases Gillray's skill in using art as a tool for social and political commentary. This piece remains an important example of British satirical art and offers insight into the complexities of British colonial history.
