ಆಧುನಿಕ ಭಾರತದ ಇತಿಹಾಸ

The History of Modern India broadly narrates an authoritative history of the region known as British India. The text of the book is based extensively on the author’s research on nationalism and colonialism in India and the works of eminent historians of the same period. In questioning the revision and interpretation of nationalism and colonialism in history, the book moves away from political narratives and shifts towards the social, economic and religious history of modern India. The book explains how the conditions prevailing in India in the 18th century helped the East India Company establish its rule in India. The book also provides important insights into the colonial objective of economically exploiting India through trade and capital investment. The topics are arranged to facilitate an understanding of the efforts of various forces in liberating India. However, the overall arrangement of the topics observes a chronological order to facilitate exploration of the various forces that influenced the establishment and rule of the British imperial system in the subcontinent. The book also gives details about the national movement and the contributions of various individuals behind the national movement. It is a text of collection not only for history students but also for interested readers. Reading the History of Modern India is essential to understand the making of modern India.
