Knowing India: Understanding the Right History
For how many years did British really rule all of India? This is a vast area and there are no boundaries, but here are 5 books which I believe should be read and delved deeper into for those interested in how India evolved over the centuries: Heroic Hindu Resistance To Muslim Invaders, 636 AD to 1206 AD – Sitaram Goel Sitaram Goel has written several books focusing on the interplay of history, religion, governance and state functions. Solstice at Panipat: 14 January 1761 – Uday S. Kulkarni Kids in India learn about the end of Mughal kingdom and the start of the British rule almost as two contiguous events. The book, authored by PV Rajagopal based on Rustamji diaries, points to several small events, which are not individually significant to be recorded as history, but collectively demonstrate the gradual decline of Pt Nehru’s governance in 1950s. Accidental India: A History of The Nation’s Passage Through Crisis and Change – Shankkar Aiyar India’s post independence history and chain of events is very poorly documented.
