From Plassey to Partition: Sekhar Bandyopadhyay

 


From Plassey to Partition: A History of Modern India by Sekhar Bandyopadhyay. Orient Blackswan 2004.



(First Edition Cover)



From Plassey to Partition is an eminently readable account of the emergence of India as a nation. It covers about two hundred years of political and socio-economic turbulence. Of particular interest to the contemporary reader will be sections such as Early Nationalism: Discontent and Dissension , Many Voices of a Nation and Freedom with Partition . On the one hand, it converses with students of Indian history and on the other, it engages general and curious readers. Few books on this crucial period of history have captured the rhythms of India's polyphonic nationalism as From Plassey to Partition. (From Google Books)
