History of Modern India provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and compendious account of the history, institutions and culture of India from the decline of the Mughal Empire to the post-independence era. The arrival of the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama in Calicut in India in 1498 was the first step in the colonisation of India by the European powers. The subsequent settlements by the Portuguese, the Dutch, the British and the French marked the beginning of modern Indian history. The period also witnessed the slow but final disintegration of the Mughal Empire. Further events culminated in India becoming a vast British colony. Then came the Freedom Movement and finally the dawn of independence in 1947. The chapters in this book are arranged in chronological order, starting from the British Rule to the independence of the country. This piece of literature provides its readers with loads of information on the nationalist movement, throwing light on the contributions made by several different individuals. This book is a must-have for history students as well as for those who want to gain insight into the history of modern India.
