The fifth edition of Modern South Asia draws on the newest
historical research and scholarship in the field to interpret and
debate key developments in modern South Asian history and
historical writing, covering the diverse spectrum of the
subcontinent's social, economic and political past. Jointly
authored by two leading Indian and Pakistani historians, this
definitive study offers a rare depth of historical understanding of
the politics, cultures and economies that have shaped the lives of
more than a fifth of humanity. This new edition on the 75th
anniversary of independence and partition brings the narrative up
to the present day, discussing recent events and addressing new
themes such as the capture of state power in India by the forces of
religious majoritarianism, economic development in the context of
the 'rise' of Asia and strategic shifts occasioned by the US
withdrawal from Afghanistan and China's increasing role in the
region. Providing fresh insights into the structure and ideology of
the British raj, the meaning of subaltern resistance, the
refashioning of social relations along lines of caste, class,
religion and gender, the different strands of anti-colonial
nationalism and the dynamics of decolonization, this is an
essential resource for all students of the modern history of South
Asia in an Indian Ocean and global context.
