In this pioneering history of modern India, Claude Markovits offers
a new interpretation of events of world importance, focusing on the
multiplicity of connections between India and the world. Beginning
with an examination of India's evolving role in the world economy,
he deals successively with the movement of people out of and into
India, the role played by Indian soldiers in a series of conflicts
from the mid-eighteenth to the late twentieth century, the place of
India in the global circulation of ideas and cultural productions
and the relationships established between Indians and others both
abroad and at home. Challenging dominant state-centred histories by
focusing on the lived experiences of people, Markovits demonstrates
that the multiple connections established between India and other
lands did not necessarily result in mutual knowledge, but were
often marked by misunderstanding.
