If you want to discover the captivating history of the British Raj, then pay attention...

The British presence in India lasted for nearly 350 years, but only the last 90 were under the direct rule of the British government. To some, 90 years might seem a short period to write a history book about. However, the time of the British Raj was very influential. It brought change to Indian politics, education, society, infrastructure, industry, and other aspects of Indian life. But while the British Empire brought modernization to its colonies, that modernization came with a price.

The British Raj did not cover just where India is today. In fact, it spanned across the territories of four separate states that exist today: Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Burma. It is estimated that around a quarter of a million British were buried in these territories since the East India Company set its first foothold. The oldest European graves can be found in port cities such as Madras or Bombay, where the first merchants settled trading offices.

In The British Raj: A Captivating Guide to the British in India, Starting from the Indian Rebellion of 1857 to the Indian Independence Act of 1947, you will discover topics such as:

  • East India Company, the first British presence on the Indian subcontinent
  • The Crown’s rule of India
  • The famines of India
  • Nationalism in India
  • India during World War I
  • Mahatma Gandhi
  • World War II, the “Quit India” Movement, and independence
  • And much, much more!

Just finished listening to this insightful and well-documented work. This is the second audible I have to listen to on the subject time period in India's history and was impressed with the objective view the author took in presenting several sides to some of the major questions that archivists have debated in the years following the end of British India rule. Would definitely recommend this to anyone engaged in this time frame of India's history.

An unbiased view of British India.

This volume explains the overall picture of the association that the British had with the Indians. I was surprised to listen that India paid for England's Industrial Revolution. Both countries benefited from their community financially but I doubt Indians were expressly thankful for the British rule. The British were fairly dismissive of Indian culture and religions.

Frustrating book which would be better described as a history of Indian independence movement. Wanted to have a balanced history. This is not it.

Annoying and partial
