History of Modern India presents what is arguable the authoritative overview of the historical period known as British India. It moves away from a largely political narrative to offer: An explanation of conditions in eighteenth-century India that helped the British East India Company establish its rule. Important insights into the primary aim of colonial rule: the economic exploitation of India through trade and investment. A detailed account of the nationalist movement. An introduction to significant freedom fighters.
