The present volume The Rise of the British Power covers the period A.D. 1707 to 1857 of Indian history. The period had 3 major landmarks. The Mughal empire which had dazzled the contemporary world showed signs of decay towards the beginning of the 18 century. The Mughal emperors after Aurangzeb were weak unstable and inefficient. A sinister development in the later Mughal politics was the rise of the powerful nobles who played the role of king makers. The weakening of central political structure created a political vacuum in India. The ambitious regional chiefs carved out independent principalities for themselves. The revolts of Sikhs Jats and Rajputs combined with the foreign invasions of Nadir Shah and Ahmad Shah Abdali hastened the downfall of the Mughal Empire. The weakness of the Mughal Empire after A.D. 1707 gave the much needed opportunity to the Marathas. The first half of the 18 century witnessed a considerable expansion of the Maratha power and their idea of a Hindu Empire started taking shape. The early Peshwas like Balaji Vishwanath and Balaji Baji Rao consolidated the Maratha position. However the third battle of Panipat lowered Maratha prestige in the Indian political world and the Maratha dream of an empire extending over all parts of India was irretrievably lost. A number of European powers the Portuguese the Dutch the British and the French came to India as trading companies. They found the Indian landscape fertile to establish their own sway. They conspired with the local rulers and benefited from their mutual jealousies. The British were ultimately victorious and conquered almost the whole of India and set up their own administrative machinery with the overriding aim of exploiting the economic resources of India. 284 pp.
