A wide-ranging survey of the Indian sub-continent, Modern South Asia gives an enthralling account of South Asian
history. After sketching the pre-modern history of the subcontinent, the book concentrates on the last three centuries
from c.1700 to the present. Jointly written by two leading Indian and Pakistani historians, Modern South Asia offers
a rare depth of understanding of the social, economic and political realities of this region.
This comprehensive study includes detailed discussions of:the structure and ideology of the British raj; the meaning
of subaltern resistance; the refashioning of social relations along lines of caste class, community and gender;
and the state and economy, society and politics of post-colonial South Asia
The new edition includes a rewritten, accessible introduction and a chapter by chapter revision to take into account
recent research. The second edition will also bring the book completely up to date with a chapter on the period
from 1991 to 2002 and a discussion of the last millennium in sub-continental history.
