History Of Modern India 1480-1950

'The best single volume of South Asian history currently available.' Itinerario 'This darkly original text deserves to be on every reading list on Indian history.' History: The Journal of the Historical Association 'An impressively scholarly and immensely detailed chronological text of the rich and diverse history of India from the Mughals to the Raj... a welcome and strongly recommended contribution...' Library Bookwatch 'An ambitious textbook collection... there is a wealth of material in A History of Modern India.' The Round Table A History of Modern India provides a comprehensive chronological analysis of India's vibrant and diverse history. As well as analysing the major empires of modern India, from the Mughals to the Raj, A History of Modern India considers the economic, social and intellectual dynamism that accompanied intervening periods of political fragmentation, such as the eighty years that separated the Mughal and the British regimes. Finally, the book explores the difficulties confronting the rise of Indian nationalism and the consequent confrontation between religious communities, delving into how a resolution that should have been the crowning victory of a pacifist anticolonial movement was instead resolved tragically with the violence of Partition in 1947.Markovits, Claude is the author of 'History Of Modern India 1480-1950', published 2004 under ISBN 9781843311522 and ISBN 1843311526.
