  • "This comprehensive history of modern South Asia explores the historical development of the subcontinent from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the present day from local and regional, as opposed to European, perspectives. Michael Mann charts the role of emerging states within the Mughal Empire, the gradual British colonial expansion in the political setting of the subcontinent and shows how the modern state formation usualy associated with Western Europe can be seen in some regions of India, linking Europe and South Asia together as part of a shared world history. This book looks beyond the subcontinent's post-colonial history to consider the political, economic, social and cultural developments impacted the region's citizens. South Asia's Modern History began with a general introduction which provides a geographical, environmental and historiographical overview. This is followed by thematic chapters which discuss state formation and empire building; patriotisms and nationalisms in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; agriculture and agro-economy; silviculture and scientific forestry; migration, circulation and diaspora; urbanisation and industrialisation; and knowledge, science, technology and power, demonstrating common themes across the decades and centuries. -- from back cover."
