from The Historylogy Podcast · host Shinil Subramanian Payamal

'India Conquered: Britain’s Raj and the Chaos of Empire' is the first general history of British India for over twenty years, getting under the skin of the empire to show how British rule really worked. Oscillating between paranoid paralysis and moments of extreme violence, it was beset by chaos and chronic weakness.Jon Wilson argues that this contradictory character was a consequence of the Raj’s failure to create long-term relationships with Indian society and claims that these systemic problems still affect the world’s largest democracy as it navigates the twenty-first century.Order links of the book 'India Conquered' below:Amazon India:HardcoverPaperbackKindleGaruda Online:PaperbackAmazon USA:HardcoverPaperbackKindleAnd please don't forget to checkout Historylogy.com for latest book reviews and tidbits from the pages of history.Please feel free to our social media ID's for latest updates.
