Best known for a 1922 study of drug smuggling and drug use in India and Burma, this early 20th-century writer appears to have left a very small public record. What survives suggests a narrowly focused author whose work is now mainly of historical interest.

by Roy K. Anderson
Roy K. Anderson is the credited author of Drug Smuggling and Taking in India and Burma, a work first published in 1922 and cataloged by library sources including Open Library.
Very little biographical information about him appears to be readily available in major public book and reference sources. Because of that, it is safest to describe him as an obscure author known primarily through this book rather than to make stronger claims about his life, background, or career.
For listeners interested in the history of colonial-era writing on crime, trade, and social policy in South and Southeast Asia, his work may offer a snapshot of how these subjects were discussed at the time.
