A Concise History of India Hardback
by Barbara D. Metcalf, Thomas R. Metcalf
Part of the Cambridge Concise Histories series
Hardback
Description
Two distinguished historians, Barbara Metcalf and Thomas Metcalf, come together to write a new and accessible account of modern India.
The narrative, which charts the history of India from the Mughals, through the colonial encounter and independence, to the present day, challenges imperialist notions of an unchanging and monolithic India bounded by tradition and religious hierarchies.
Instead the book reveals a complex society which is constantly transforming and reinventing itself in response to political and social challenges.
The book is beautifully composed and richly illustrated.
It will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand India, her turbulent past and her present uncertainties.
