About the Book This book reviews the turbulent period in the history of India right from the advent of the Europeans in the 15th century and the gradual establishment of British rule over India upto the nation’s independence from colonial rule in 1947. It also discusses the developments on the socio-economic front, several reform movements, growth of the press, progress of education, besides the economic impact of the British administrative policies and rule. It also presents a brief assessment of the challenges faced by the country immediately after independence and some of the notable developments that have taken place so far under the various governments brought to power by the people exercising their vote. The appendices feature notable personalities linked to different stages of the national movement, in addition to those covered in the main chapters. A special section includes women freedom fighters. The section also includes charts, lists, and tables related to Indian National Congress annual sessions (1885–1950), caste movements, governor-generals and viceroys: significant events in their rule, and newspapers and journals. This revised edition incorporates new information relating to various tribal movements, constitutional developments, workers’ movements, and personalities associated with the freedom movement. Many of the chapters have been modified and enriched with fresh information even as some chapters have been pruned.
