This comprehensive history of modern South Asia explores the
historical development of the Subcontinent from the beginning of
the eighteenth century to the present day from local and regional,
as opposed to European, perspectives. Michael Mann charts the role
of emerging states within the Mughal Empire, the gradual British
colonial expansion in the political setting of the Subcontinent and
shows how the modern state formation usually associated with
Western Europe can be seen in some regions of India, linking Europe
and South Asia together as part of a shared world history. This
book looks beyond the Subcontinent s post-colonial history to
consider the political, economic, social and cultural development
of Pakistan and Bangladesh as well as Sri Lanka and Nepal, and to
examine how these developments impacted the region s citizens."
South Asia s Modern History" begins with a general introduction
which provides a geographical, environmental and historiographical
overview. This is followed by thematic chapters which discuss
Empire Building and State Formation, Agriculture and Agro-Economy,
Silviculture and Scientific Forestry, Migration, Circulation and
Diaspora, Industrialisation and Urbanisation and Knowledge,
Science, Technology and Power, demonstrating common themes across
the decades and centuries.
This book will be perfect for all students of South Asian
history. "
