Lord and Lady Mountbatten with Muhammad Ali JinnahNotwithstanding the self-promotion of his own part in Indian independence — notably in the television series The Life and Times of Admiral of the Fleet Lord Mountbatten of Burma, produced by his son-in-law Lord Brabourne and Dominique Lapierre, and Larry Collins's Freedom at Midnight ( of which he was the main quoted source ) — his record is seen as very mixed ; one common view is that he hastened the independence process unduly and recklessly, foreseeing vast disruption and loss of life and not wanting this to occur on the British watch, but thereby actually causing it to occur, especially in Punjab and Bengal.

They outwitted opposing batsmen not only through line, length, and trajectory variations but also by physically and psychologically exploiting rough spots resulting from wear and tear on the playing top and cracks from increasing surface dryness as a game progressed. The Indian batsmen being superb players of spin bowling have generally relished home conditions. Also few opposition teams have fielded quality spinners with Australia having Shane Warne in the team an obvious exception. Not surprisingly building a first inning lead is crucial in matches played in India. While the Brabourne and Wankhede stadiums in Mumbai and Ferozshah Kotla in Delhi never offered nearly as much turn to spinners, winning a series in India was nevertheless quite difficult, and considered an ultimate challenge for visiting teams, as it is to this day.

Baron Brabourne, of Brabourne in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

Lord Brabourne had assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Hugessen ( which was that of his maternal grandmother ) in 1849.

In 1919 Lord Brabourne assumed by deed poll the surname of Knatchbull only.

This means that the barony of Brabourne will eventually merge with the earldom, and no longer be a separate peerage title.

On his death in 1917 he was succeeded by his first cousin the fourth Baron Brabourne, who became the thirteenth Baronet of Mersham Hatch as well.
