This book doesn’t focus on the political factors during that period, but deals with the economic, religious, and social history of India. Through the course of this book, Chandra provides insight on several events in modern Indian history such as the establishment of the British East India Company, which led to a tightened grip of the British over India. Chandra also explains that the major reason behind the colonial rule was to exploit India by means of investment and trade. The chapters in thi...more
This book proves why casual readers need historians like Ramachandra Guha. I gather Bipan Chandra is a highly respected name among those who prepare for civil services. I was disappointed with History of Modern India because I was expecting opinions from an IAS preparation text book. People find history boring in school because it deals merely in facts, dates and names. A study of history is incomplete unless we form opinions about it. We talk about it, discuss, argue and even demolish mosques b...more
This book is very old and its need to be updated. I read from one of my friend's review that this book has been discontinued by ncert. My sister was preparing for UPSC. So i took the opportunity of reading this book. Book quality is really terrible. Pages look really cheap like xerox copy.

I've always wondered why do we even need to read history books. We can't change it, we can't meet the people who were involved and doesn't matter how good an author is, we never really feel the actual urge that the characters of the story must've had felt. This book starts from decline of the era of Mughals that means basically from the era of Aurangzeb and has concluded on 15th August 1947, the day we got our independence. But if I just said that history was not a worthwhile endeavor, then why...more

Such a great book which serves as an introduction to History of India. This book gives a brief account of events that led to the formation of India as we know today. I loved this book because its not very factual but had an analytic edge which helps for CS aspirants.
Overall this is the best book I have read till now to get an holistic view of modern history of India.

Best part of this book is that It’s compact, and handy to be finished in a day or two. But is not the best one if you want to dive into the British Indian history of colonialism. It’s missing Chronology and thus the beauty of context seems to be lost. Also, it’s descriptive and not prescriptive i.e it doesn’t provide (an) analysis or even any backdrop for it. Even for Civil Services Aspirants, I’ll recommend one quick skim-through this book and then move on with Spectrum for revisions and note m...more

Overall a good book. A fair enough idea about the freedom struggle is in this book. But it lacks depth. So many important incidents are just mentioned or are not explained further. Many important personalities are not given due coverage, including Bose, Patel etc. Over emphasis on the deeds of Nehru is seen. So this book can't be counted as a comprehensive read of our freedom struggle. But good enough to get a blur picture of what has happened over the struggle years.
Aug 18, 2015Sharayu Gangurde rated it did not like it
Greatly disappointed with this book. It vilifies the British badly and I have never read such an anti-British book ever. Did not think Bipin Chandra would ever present history in such a manner. He seems very biased about certain social reformers and leaders. I fail to understand how could this book be on the NCERT syllabus! Not worth Civil Services prep for sure.

This book gives a brief account of events that tied India together after the fall of Mughal Empire and the freedom struggle. Serves as an introductory read to those interested in the history of India.
Unlike India's struggle for Independence, this happens to be a mere compilation of facts. For more exhaustive and opinion-based work India's struggle... by the same author, would be my recommendation.

A reprint of old NCERT 11th standard text book. Average. Biased at times.
Its a bleeding text book. That's what this is.

This book explains how condition in India during the eighteenth century helped the British east india company establish its rule in india.
The book also defines the nationalist movements. This book gives you a broad understanding of making of modern india. The best thing i found in this book is all the events are arranged in a chronological order. This is the best book for upsc aspirants.

Though it may appear as a just another boring History textbook, but for me this book did the magic. It was penned by Bipan Chandra (an authority in Indian History) had me hooked to the narrative and his eloquent word described the event as if we are/had witnessed it. The content of the book is little when compared to the vast & ancient history of the land [India], this book did more than justice to the area which it focuses, that is: Modern India: begins with the death of last great Mughal e...more

History by someone you can consider the most appropriate one to write. A clear description of events during the end of medieval period, the freedom struggle and finally a brief of journey into the challenges of a free India.
This gives us a good intellectual exercise while discussing the sensitive attitude. The author has taken a slight socialist bent while explaining. Not many authors are able to present history is such elaboration and lucidity.
Must read for every citizen of India

Between history text books of high school and this book, one gets unique perspectives of social and political narrative of india. From the decline of mughals to the reign of britishers and the independence of india, this is a handbook to get a overview of events of the period. Loved reading the book.

He gets a little repeatitive in the first half. A few chapters overlap the facts.
He describes the decline of Mughals in comprehensive details. Pays equal attention at mentioning efforts of every person involved in the freedom struggle.
Gave me some insight to reflect our history upon today's society.

A fast paced book on how and what's of India that took place for over a couple of centuries.
This book is a compact overview, highlighting all the important events that took place in this period and how it shaped the Indian Subcontinent.
If you are a history buff and want a quick read, this is the book.

Good for getting overview of Indian struggle for independence
Bipan Chandra has written in very simple words the reasons and implications of colonialism in India. And he has done this task by explaining it from all point of views like administration, economic, political etc.

A brief introduction to colonial history of India that can be a good start for studies in modern Indian history. It gives a more or less balanced view of the events in the time line. While it may not appeal to subaltern nationalistic sentiments, it certainly comes in handy for an aspirant.
May 07, 2019Eric Miranda rated it it was amazing
This is more a factual and academic(popular for IAS students as I understand) book focused on historical accuracy, rather than mainly opinions and narratives. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a factual rather than narrative description of the history of modern India.
This book takes you through the journey of India from the fall of Mughal Empire and other princely state empires to the advent of British- The political, economical, social and cultural impact of almost 200 years of English Rule. This books depicts the issues in an Indian nationalist view.
