History of Modern India (2020 ed. ‪)‬

History of Modern India presents what is arguable the authoritative overview of the historical period known as British India.


It moves away from a largely political narrative to offer:


    An explanation of conditions in eighteenth-century India that helped the British East India Company establish its rule.

    Important insights into the primary aim of colonial rule: the economic exploitation of India through trade and investment.

    A detailed account of the nationalist movement.


An introduction to significant freedom fighters.
