“Modern Indian History” offers a thorough exploration of India’s historical events from the decline of the Mughal Empire to the period leading up to independence. It begins with the Decline of the Mughals, explaining how the empire weakened and led to the rise of regional powers. The emergence of new states such as Hyderabad, Awadh, Bengal, Mysore, and the role of the Rajputs, Kerala, Marathas, and Sikhs is detailed, shedding light on the fragmented political landscape that preceded British dominance.
The Advent of Europeans and the subsequent policies of the British Empire in India (1757-1857) reveal the gradual consolidation of British power. The Revolt of 1857, often regarded as the first significant rebellion against British rule, marks a crucial turning point in Indian history, and the book offers a detailed analysis of this event. It also covers the period of British policies during 1861-1900, exploring economic, social, and political changes under colonial rule.
