Political Nationalism, 1800-1918

Rise of nationalism implies an activation of the people and the demand for a new order of society. The rise of nationalism in India too is a phenomenon of the modern age. There were several factors responsible for the upsurge of national consciousness like unification of national economy, change in the rural economy, transport and communication, and there came the First War of Independence in 1857. The present volume narrates the gradual growth of political nationalism from 1800 AD onwards to first World War in 1918. The outbreak of 1857 would surely go down in history as the First great and direct challenge to the British Rule in India. The book illustrates every minute details of this political nationalism during the period. The volume, full of wealthy information on the Indian nationalism, will be immensely valuable for faithful students of modern history and research scholars and teachers. It also forms an interesting study for a general reader and the simple lucid style inspires a reader when he plunges into the inspiring events of Indian history.
