An Advanced History of Modern India

 
Sailendra Nath Sen (Author)
Synopsis
An Advanced History of Modern India has been designed for undergraduate students as well as those preparing for civil services examinations at both central and state levels. It is a daunting task to write a book of this kind when dynamic changes have occurred in the last three decades in the historiography of modern India, including Subaltern Studies by reputed scholars both in India and abroad. An attempt has been made to weave the known facts of history with the unknown, fostering a spirit of enquiry among modern generations. Apart from political history, due emphasis has been laid on socio-economic changes, administrative innovations, cultural ferments and trials and tribulations of the nationalist movements. The author has not ignored the post-independence era that led to the emergence of a new India vibrant with a new lease of life.

The book is adequately with maps. A detailed chronology, biographical notes of distinguished personalities, list of Congress sessions including names of Presidents, Prime Ministers, Presidents and Vice-Presidents of independent India and an exhaustive list of bibliography is also included.
