1. History Of Modern India
A concise, narrative account of India’s transformation under British rule from the eighteenth century through the struggle for independence, examining colonial economic policies, deindustrialization, and agrarian distress alongside social reform and cultural change; it traces the rise of modern political consciousness, the evolution of party politics and mass movements (including constitutional methods, revolutionary activity, and Gandhi’s campaigns), the growth of communal tensions and regional assertions, and the wartime and postwar negotiations that culminated in transfer of power and partition, offering analysis of causes, major events, and their lasting consequences for the subcontinent.
