Book Overview
About the Book ✔ The arrival of the Portuguese—the first Europeans to set foot in India who successfully established enclaves of power—highlighted the disordered state of this vast region. The formidable Mughals had yet to construct their empire, yet they never fully dominated the seas; conversely, colonial empires were founded on the naval strength of their home nations. This book examines the tumultuous era in Indian history from the arrival of Europeans to the gradual establishment of British rule until the nation’s liberation from colonial governance. It also explores developments in the socio-economic landscape, reform movements, the rise of the press, advancements in education, as well as the economic repercussions of British rule and the administrative policies implemented by the British. Additionally, it briefly addresses the challenges encountered by the country immediately following independence and the significant advancements that have occurred under the various governments elected by the populace exercising their right to vote. The appendices feature prominent figures associated with different phases of the national movement, alongside those discussed in the main chapters. A dedicated section highlights women freedom fighters. This section also includes charts, lists, and tables pertaining to the annual sessions of the Indian National Congress (1885-1950), caste movements, governor-generals and viceroys: key events during their tenure, as well as newspapers and journals. This revised edition integrates new information regarding various tribal movements, constitutional developments, labor movements, and notable figures linked to the freedom struggle.
