Percival Spear chronicles the sweeping political, social, and economic currents that reshaped India from the eighteenth century through to the mid-twentieth century, illuminating the complex interplay between indigenous cultures and imperial power with remarkable clarity and depth.\n\nSpear brings to this monumental subject the authority of a seasoned Oxford historian, presenting a narrative that is both rigorously analytical and compellingly readable. His prose cuts through imperial mythology to reveal the tensions, negotiations, and upheavals that defined one of history's most consequential colonial encounters. As the final chapter of British India closes, Spear leaves the reader with an acute understanding of just how fragile — and how hard-won — the idea of a unified, independent India truly was.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130668458203,"sku":"2026200010328-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/afa0b9dd-f070-4438-a165-f4dee7475071.png?v=1786588349","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010328-secondhand-a-history-of-india-2","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
