This book brings together various aspects of
the turbulent period (from arrival of the Europeans on Indian soil and the
establishment of British rule in India to the day India won independence and
the early years of freedom) in a systematic and succinct manner: major and
important details and milestones are effectively discussed while several
relevant but little known details are also highlighted.It is not just the
mainstream freedom struggle that has been considered; the disparate
efforts—small but significant— of several groups have also been discussed. The
political and socio-economic developments that have influenced the growth of
modern India have been dealt with in independent chapters.
Reading of this book is very important for
Preliminary Examination.
