To some, ninety years might seem a short period to write a history book about. However, the time of the British Raj was very influential. It brought change to Indian politics, education, society, infrastructure, industry, and other aspects of Indian life. But while the British Empire brought modernization to its colonies, that modernization came with a price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe British Raj did not cover just where India is today. In fact, it spanned across the territories of four separate states that exist today: Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Burma. It is estimated that around a quarter of a million British were buried in these territories since the East India Company set its first foothold. The oldest European graves can be found in port cities such as Madras or Bombay, where the first merchants settled trading offices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe British Raj: A Captivating Guide to the British in India, Starting from the Indian Rebellion of 1857 to the Indian Independence Act of 1947\u003c\/em\u003e, you will discover topics such as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEast India Company, the First British Presence on the Indian Subcontinent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEast India Company, the First British Presence on the Indian Subcontinent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crown's Rule of India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Famines of India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNationalism in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndia during World War I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahatma Gandhi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld War II, the \"Quit India\" Movement, and Independence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the British Raj, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 31, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42728735998015,"sku":"9781647488475","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/b2c437c52f6ac7cde5a0c30184fa27b0.webp?v=1765119608","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/the-british-raj-a-captivating-guide-to-the-british-in-india-starting-from-the-indian-rebellion-of-1857-to-the-indian-independence-act-of-1947-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
