Description
One of the most comprehensive and an unbiased account of british atrocity rule from the eyes of an american historian. The author Will Durant presents before us unflinching. unwavering and powerful account of the atrocities committed by British rule on Indian economy, politics and culture. In 1930, he published The Case for India while he was on a visit to India as part of collecting data for The Story of Civilization. He was so taken aback by the devastating poverty and starvation he saw (he imagined this age-old condition to be a result of British imperial policy in India) that he took time off from his stated goal and instead concentrated on his polemic fiercely advocating Indian independence.
