History of Modern India by Bipan Chandra is an authoritative and comprehensive overview of India's history from the 18th century to independence, focusing on social, economic, and religious factors over a purely political narrative. It provides an in-depth analysis of British rule, the economic exploitation it entailed, the rise of the Indian nationalist movement, and the social forces that shaped modern India. The book is highly regarded for its clear and simple language, making it a valuable resource for students, particularly those preparing for civil services exams, and history enthusiasts.
