The policy of the East India Company has been explained in two volumes and the remaining two volumes deal with numerous socio economic and political developments after the Revolt of 1857. Indeed the developments from commercial temperament to the expansion on various regions had been the policy throughout the long era. In fact the policy commencing from Lord Clive to 1857 has been highlighted in a comprehensive way. Indeed Bengal was the base of the British administration and therefore the title of these volumes is quite suitable. The pathway to Swaraj gives us a substantial glimpse of the period which led to the emergence of the Constitution of India. These volumes would be useful for teachers research scholars and students in India and abroad. 1566 pp.
