The Indian Princes and their States: 3 (The New Cambridge History of India) Book

Barbara Ramusack's book provides a broad-ranging overview of the princes of India. Frequently portrayed as synonymous with oriental luxury, the author describes the pre-colonial origins of these kings, and how they adapted their public activities and personal lifestyles in order to survive as political leaders and cultural icons. Their collaboration enabled the British to govern India with relatively limited manpower from the late 1790s to 1947. The book will make fascinating and accessible reading for students of colonial history, and for present-day visitors to the erstwhile princely states.Read More
