Description
A fresh and up-to-date interpretation of India's rich history, this book explores themes in ancient, medieval and modern India. Peter Robb's accessible study analyses India's civilizations, empires and regions through the ages, examining the complex relationships between politics, social order, environment and economic change. The book assesses key developments such as British colonialism, Indian nationalism, popular protest movements, religious revivals, and re-inventions of caste, community and gender. It also discusses long-term economic development, the impact of global trade, and the origins of rural poverty. With a revised edition that features a Chronology and a fully reworked final chapter, this study brings the story up to the present day and considers India's prospects and new roles in the world. A clear and well-argued introduction to India's past, its present situation and future challenges, this book is ideal for those seeking to understand the drama and vitality of India's history.
