About The Book: In this book author explained about India. Understanding India can be a challenging endeavor due to its unique characteristics. While it may be perceived as a unified nation under British governance, it is, in fact, a vast amalgamation of diverse principalities and ethnicities. The differences between regions and peoples within India can be as significant as those between France and Germany. Language further compounds the complexity, with over 200 distinct dialects spoken throughout the country, making communication between different groups challenging. Moreover, the Indian society is divided into numerous castes that strictly adhere to social distinctions, even influencing dining customs. The sheer magnitude of India's population is staggering, comprising approximately 300 million people, representing nearly one-fifth of the global population and surpassing the peak population of the Roman Empire. Geographically, the occupied territory is vast, with Lower Bengal alone equating to the size of France, Madras surpassing Great Britain and Ireland, Bombay rivaling Germany, and the Punjab comparable to Italy.
