AS DETAILS : History of Modern India presents an authoritative overview of the history of what was known as British India. The text is largely based on the author's research on nationalism and colonialism in India and also draws from the works of eminent historians of the period. A Study of Modern India: 1757-1947 was planned with specific objectives. It is an attempt to incorporate massive archival data un-earthed by recent historical research. Important topics have been dealt with in a more comprehensive manner to meet the need of the student community. Necessary details have been included, but more superflous and digressions have been avoided. Different phases of national movement including economic, social aspect have been analysed in a systematic manner. The feeling of nationalism had started growing in the minds of Indians as early as the middle of the nineteenth century but it grew more with the formation of the Indian national Congress in 1885. Though the Congress started on a moderate platform but with the passage of time and apathetic attitude of the British government, the national movement began to shape well. A comprehensive books for students of history and interested readers,History of Modern India is essential reading for a broad based understanding of the making of modern India.
