About this product
Product Information
This is the brilliantly told story of one of the wonders of the modern world - how in less than a hundred years the British made themselves masters of India. They ruled it for another hundred, departing in 1947, leaving behind the independent states of India and Pakistan. British rule taught Indians to see themselves as Indians and its benefits included railways, hospitals, law and a universal language. But the Raj, outwardly so monolithic and magnificent, was always precarious. Its masters knew that it rested ultimately on the goodwill of Indians. This is a new look at a subject rich in incident and character; the India of the Raj was that of Clive, Kipling, Curzon and Gandhi and a host of lesser known others. RAJ will provoke debate, for it sheds new light on Mountbatten and the events of 1946-47 which ended an exercise in benign autocracy and an experiment in altruism.Product Identifiers

NOT HARDBACK ENOUGH
It was described by this company as a HARDBACK it isn't its a paperback which if it was say a Simenon/Maigret story would be about 8mm thick and just readable in a day. This book is huge and likely to take weeks to read in which time the binding will have started to crack and pages to fall out. No book this thick should be made as a paperback, it is a physical absurdity. If it had not said HARDBACK I would not have ordered it. I call this sharp practice. As to the content I have only glanced inside and hardly opened it in the middle its actually difficult to read the whole page when opened out without stressing the glued spine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
