The fact that many Indian institutions were destroyed by the British (including the education system) is well presented. The case of the famines that the British caused by diverting grain from India is again documented. The fact that the Industrial Revolution was built on Indian money, while destroying India's economy is again well argued.
He writes well, and has attempted to see the argument from both, the British, and the Indian perspective. Sadly, the British perspective only serves to present them in a more unfavourable light.
The Hindu-Muslim divide was created by the British, and India was messily carved into two nations (this happened 17 years after the book was written)
A book well worth the read ( )
