History Of India: From 1206 to 1773 (Vol. 2)

History of India, the monumental four-volume work, offers an elaborate and chronological account of Indian history from the earliest times to the present period. It endeavors to give, without prolixity, a statement of the relevant facts at present available, both in regard to the origin of the more important Indian races, and in regard to their progress before they came under the unifying processes of modern administration. It also includes the brief relation of the unprecedented series of events under which a remote commercial people have begun to weld those races into a single nationality.
This volume discusses all aspects of Indian history from 1206 A.D. to 1773 A.D. Part I of the volume covers the Sultanate period and Part II deals with the Mughal period and the arrival of the Europeans. The process through which the Britishers, who came as traders but rapidly transformed themselves into rulers, has been outlined in this volume. A very important feature of this volume is the emphasis it lays on the social, economic, and cultural conditions prevalent in India during the Sultanate and the Mughal periods.
This comprehensive yet reasonably sized four-volume work on Indian history will prove to be of immediate interest and relevance not only to students and teachers of Indian history, but also to the general reader.
