Covering the post-Mughal period to post Independence, it dissects some of the key turning points of history viz. the battles of Plassey and Buxar, the loss of monopoly for the East India Company, the birth of nationalism, Gandhi's return and impact - to name a few. The average reader would be significantly enlightened by the nuanced handling of key pre-independence conflicts like partition, the Poona pact, and Bose's departure to the INA. The precision to be fair also makes this a difficult read as it is laced with cross-references to work by other authors, but this should be a must-read for each and every citizen of India and Pakistan to clear the air. Take a bow Ishita Bannerjee-Dube Review: This book is very lengthy. The language is a bit advanced and not your typical course book. So, if you're an aspirant only read if you have a lot of time in hand. Packaging: no bubble wrap or any kind of box to save it from external damage. 1 star for packaging ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,049,907 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,529 in Asian History (Books) #2,768 in India History #4,806 in European History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (158) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.1 x 9.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1107659728 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1107659728 | | Item Weight | 2.15 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 519 pages | | Publication date | October 27, 2014 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![A History of Modern India - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zzdTwhYNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***N on September 25, 2024* Seldom would you come across a book that covers such a vast range of history with an immaculate precision and yet gives the reader a feeling of comprehension.

So, if you're an aspirant only read if you have a lot of time in hand. Packaging: no bubble wrap or any kind of box to save it from external damage. 1 star for packaging ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***K on December 10, 2018* This is a very nicely written book, but not the best for people who are new to the history of Modern India. This is also not recommended for those preparing for competitive exams. I would recommend this book to an undergraduate student. It is very helpful for academic reading. The page and print quality is commendable. All the maps are printed on glossy paper.
