From Plassey to Partition and After by Sekhar Bandyopadhyay is a comprehensive and scholarly account of modern Indian history, tracing the political, social, and economic transformations in India from the mid-18th century to the post-independence era. The book begins with the Battle of Plassey in 1757, which marked the beginning of British colonial rule in India, and progresses through the various phases of colonial expansion, resistance, and reform.
