The History of Modern India starts with the advent of Europeans in India soil. Vasco da Gama landed at Calicut, sailing via the Cape of Good Hope in 1498. This marked the beginning of the European era in Indian history. In the next century, India was visited by a large number of European travellers –Italians, Englishmen, Frenchmen and Dutchmen. Eventually England, France, the Netherlands and Denmark, floated East India Companies. During the late 16th and the 17th Centuries, these companies competed with each other fiercely. By the last quarter of the 18th Century the English had vanquished all others and established themselves as the dominant power in India. The six decades between the end of the “mutinous” war of 1857-59 and the conclusion of First World War saw both the peak of British imperial power in India and the birth of nationalist agitation against it. The anticolonial struggle became truly a mass movement with the arrival of Gandhiji in 1915. Successive campaigns had the effect of driving the British out of Indian in 1947, but with independence cam the independence of the country into Pakistan. The present book attempts to introduce some of the major themes I modern Indian history comprehensively. It will be highly useful for students, teachers, researchers and all those interested in the history of modern India.
