A New Look At Modern Indian History: Men Of Destiny

This survey of Indian history covers the period from 1707 onward, moving through to the modern era, with particular attention to the national movement. Its chapters go beyond dates and events to set out the competing explanations offered by scholars from Western and Indian backgrounds, weighing those views in an integrated analysis. Written in clear, plain language, the book is intended for candidates preparing for civil service and other competitive examinations, and it also serves undergraduate students of history who need both the facts and their interpretation.
