The book covers in a single volume complete history of India beginning from the earliest days to the establishment of the British rule. The work is divided into four parts: (1) Embracing a period dating from the earliest days to the establishment of the Moguls at Delhi, in A.D. 1526; (2) The Mogul Empire of India (1526-1761); (3) The rise and consolidation of the British power in India, being the period between the years 1600 and 1827 A.D.; and (4) The interval between 1827 and 1858 A.D. from the full establishment of the authority of the East India Company to its final extinction, and the absorption of the government of the country by the imperial authorities of Great Britain. The treatment is highly analytical. The book will serve as an authentic document on Indian history for students and researchers in the field. The simple style and lucid manner in which the text has been written make reading of the book accessible and enjoyable even to the common readers.
