In a second edition of their successful Concise History of

Modern India, Barbara Metcalf and Thomas Metcalf explore India's

modern history afresh and update the events of the last decade.

These include the takeover of Congress from the seemingly

entrenched Hindu nationalist party in 2004, India's huge advances

in technology and the country's new role as a major player in world

affairs. From the days of the Mughals, through the British Empire,

and into Independence, the country has been transformed by its

institutional structures. It is these institutions which have

helped bring about the social, cultural and economic changes that

have taken place over the last half century and paved the way for

the modern success story. Despite these advances, poverty, social

inequality and religious division still fester. In response to

these dilemmas, the book grapples with questions of caste and

religious identity, and the nature of the Indian nation.
