A History of India by Peter Robb
Peter Robb's clear, fluent narrative explores the interplay between India's empires and regions of rule, custom and belief, from early times up to the present day. The new edition of this established text has been revised to incorporate the latest scholarship and now includes a fully reworked, updated and extended final chapter.
Praise for new edition: 'I welcome this new edition of Peter Robb's rich and thoughtful History of IndiaIts new final chapter is a beautifully measured piece of writing which, while acknowledging India's remarkable economic transition over the past two decades, does sound important notes of caution - the continuing problems of infrastructure, but much more important the continuing problems of inequality. An essential introduction.' - Francis Robinson CBE, Royal Holloway University of London, UK 'An excellent history from one of the most respected historians of India. The revisions and the new chapter clearly improve the book by providing additional assessment and bringing the treatment of Indian history up to the present.' - Ian Barrow, Middlebury College, USA Praise for the first edition: '... his book is accessible in new ways for even the lay Indian reader.' - The Hindu (Indian) 'This is a rich and seriously intelligent set of discussions on India which is marked throughout by excellent judgement.' - Francis Robinson, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society '...masterfully surveys the trends, issues, and movements that have resulted in modern India...Highly recommended.' - D. C. Johnson, Choice
