Since independence, there has been creation of some of the most scintillating, refreshing pyramids of historical literature of all times. These performances of great originally and creations of deep erudition provide novel directions and add many new dimensions. In the present work an attempt has been made to critically examine in detail some of the most valuable and outstanding works in the field of historical investigation. What this book sets out to offer is a brief review of some scholarly, detached pieces of historical analysis. These domes of scholarship have been produced by world’ most eminent experts such as Professor S. Gopal, Professor Michael Edwardes, Dr. Edwin Hirschman, G.S. Metraux, Francois Crozet, Professor M. Mujeeb, Professor Bisheshwar Prasad, Sir John Smyth, Professor D.A. Low, Dr. S.P. sen, Dr., Dr. B.C. Bloomfield Dr. M.P. Sreekumaran Nair, Dr. B.P. Barua, Dr, D.

Patwardhan, Pyarelal, Dr. Gopal Singh, Padamashri Dr. Shayam Singh Shashi and Raja Mahendra Pratap. The main idea behind this publication is to examine many new studies on modern India and to introduce these scholars to those, who because of their highly specialized or technical interest and extremely limited time, have no occasion or opportunity to examine this literature or to form a critical estimate of it. This work also aims at providing, a critical glimpse of historical literature to the common man who has hardly any time or opportunity to scan through hundreds and thousands of pages of these masterpieces of objectivity and coherence.
