Meer over het boek
A History of Modern India provides a comprehensive chronological analysis of India's vibrant and diverse history.As well as analysing the major empires of modern India, from the Mughals to the Raj, A History of Modern India considers the economic, social and intellectual dynamism that accompanied intervening periods of political fragmentation, such as the eighty years that separated the Mughal and the British regimes.Finally, the book explores the difficulties confronting the rise of Indian nationalism and the consequent confrontation between religious communities: what should have been the crowning victory of a pacifist anti-colonial movement was instead resolved tragically with the violence of Partition in 1947.
