This comprehensive and updated textbook on the economic history of colonial India presents a lucid account of the factors that shaped economic change in the region in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It covers all major aspects of Indian economic history - transition to colonialism, agriculture, small and large scale industry, mines and plantations, trade and finance, population and labour force, and infrastructure and institutions. This second revised edition incorporates new research, covers more themes and regions, and is better suited to meet the requirements of students and teachers. It also locates India's economic growth in the context of a broader global history.
