One of the best collections ever,

This review is from: Sources of Indian Tradition, Vol. 2: Modern India and Pakistan (Introduction to Oriental Civilizations) (Paperback)
Most of the time I have large problems with huge collections of primary sources such as this too often we get a picture of society from the top down and not the bottom up. Whoever complied this collection did a very good job. There are sources from everywhere the old Mughal Empire, occupying British forces trying to take over India, Gandhi, Jinnah, Nehru, even Bose who is most often overlooked. There are even examples from the untouchables activists. Before I started the course for modern south asian history I didn't even know that there were such activists.
Overall-Stephen Hay did his homework. If you have an interest in Modern India this is the book to get.

This review is from: Sources of Indian Tradition, Vol. 2: Modern India and Pakistan (Introduction to Oriental Civilizations) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent collection of primary sources on Modern India and Pakistan. It was required as part of a "Politics of South Asia" course and closely complemented the units studied. The editor strongly weaves together relevant sources, and provides helpful background information. Highly recommended for adoption.
