As the Elizabethan era approached its end, the East India Company set out to compete with the Portuguese, Dutch and French in India, developing the ports of Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta. This marked the beginning of the process whereby Britain came to dominate India's political landscape for over 300 years. In the twentieth century, however, the emergence of Gandhi and his use of civil disobedience shook the British government to its foundations. By March 1947, Lord Mountbatten had little more choice than to grant Indian independence or see it taken by Indians themselves. This book is the history of British India from 1599 to 1947. It is divided into three parts addressing political history, topical studies, and a collection of four hundred biographies of noteworthy British men and women who played a role in the creation of the Raj.
