Orient Blackswan Adhunik Bharat Ka Itihas by Bipan Chandra

Adhunik Bharat Ka Itihas presents an authoritative overview of the history of what was known as British India. The text is largely based on the author's research on nationalism and colonialism in India and also draws from the works of eminent historians of the period.

This is the Hindi edition of the history of modern India by Bipin Chandra published by us recently. The book surveys Indian history from the eighteenth century to 1947. This book deals with the nature of British imperialism and the policies pursued by it in India and their impact on the Indian economy, society, and culture. The Indian response to British imperialism and the rise of Indian nationalism are also studied. The book also provides information about social and religious reform movements that were prominent at that time. The book gives comprehensive knowledge about the history of modern India.

A comprehensive textbook for students of history and interested readers, Adhunik Bharat Ka Itihas is essential reading for a broad-based understanding of the making of modern India.
