Book Description
: An attempt has been made to write this book on that basis. This book covers the history of the East India Company's establishment of power since its arrival in India. Along with this, the uprising of 1857 and then social reform movement, Indian freedom struggle movement, revolutionary movement etc. were mainly mentioned. While many books are available on this subject, I am publishing this book with the aim of providing students with the knowledge of this subject in a simple language as per the new semester system. The period from 1757 to 1947 is a period of historical transformation in Indian history. The first military uprising by Indians against British rule was the uprising of 1857 and after that the dawn of independence arose through a revolutionary, just and non-violent struggle without a military uprising against the British until 1947. Through this book, an attempt has been made to convey the knowledge of modern history to the students in an easy way and to add to their historical knowledge and create historical taste.

Reshaping India in the New Global Context
Author: Subhash C. Jain
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1785369016
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
This book traces the history of India's progress since its independence in 1947 and advances strategies for continuing economic growth. Insiders and outsiders that have criticized India for slow economic growth fail to recognize all it has achieved in the last seven decades, including handling the migration of over 8 million people from Pakistan, integrating over 600 princely states into the union, managing a multi-language population into one nation and resolving the food problem. The end result is a democratic country with a strong institutional foundation. Following the growth strategies outlined in the book and with a strong leadership, India has the potential to stand out as the third largest economy in the world in the next 25 to 30 years. Subhash Jain and Ben Kedia delve into India's development and emergence as an economic power, one of the three countries that can make its own supercomputers, one of the six countries that can launch satellites and that has the second largest small car market in the world. They discuss its need for innovative initiatives and top leadership to pursue an agenda of economic growth, and monitored policies to encourage entrepreneurship at all levels. With an emphasis on the new leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the book identifies policies that need to be adopted to make India s future bright and prosperous. This book is a critical resource for students and scholars interested in India and invested in its progress, as well as policymakers, government officials and corporations considering India as a place to expand and do business.

The East India Company at Home, 1757-1857
Author: Margot Finn
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1787350274
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
The East India Company at Home, 1757–1857 explores how empire in Asia shaped British country houses, their interiors and the lives of their residents. It includes chapters from researchers based in a wide range of settings such as archives and libraries, museums, heritage organisations, the community of family historians and universities. It moves beyond conventional academic narratives and makes an important contribution to ongoing debates around how empire impacted Britain. The volume focuses on the propertied families of the East India Company at the height of Company rule. From the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the outbreak of the Indian Uprising in 1857, objects, people and wealth flowed to Britain from Asia. As men in Company service increasingly shifted their activities from trade to military expansion and political administration, a new population of civil servants, army officers, surveyors and surgeons journeyed to India to make their fortunes. These Company men and their families acquired wealth, tastes and identities in India, which travelled home with them to Britain. Their stories, the biographies of their Indian possessions and the narratives of the stately homes in Britain that came to house them, frame our explorations of imperial culture and its British legacies.

A History of Christianity in India
Author: Stephen Neill
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521243513
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 6
Book Description
Christians form the third largest religious community in India. How has this come about? There are many studies of separate groups: but there has so far been no major history of the three large groups - Roman Catholic, Protestant and Thomas Christians (Syrians). This work attempts to meet the need for such a history. It goes right back to the beginning and traces the story through the ups and downs of at least fifteen centuries. It includes careful studies of the political and social background and of the non-Christian reactions to the Christian message. The narration is non-technical and should present few difficulties to the thoughtful reader; the more technical matters are dealt with in notes and appendices. This book will be of interest to all students of Church History and will also prove fascinating to many who are concerned with the development of Christianity as a world religion and in the dialogue between different forms of faith.
