This book covers the period of Indian history from 1757, i.e. the period of ascendancy and consolidation of British rule. It challenges many of the accepted major premises and notions regarding this period of history and brings into sharp relief the policy and methods followed by the British. It also highlights the untruths, treachery, breach of solemn treaties etc., resorted to by the British at all levels, including at the level of the British Cabinet in England in their no-holds-barred game of power politics with the help of official treaties and other documents.\n\nWe should have a proper understanding of our chequered past and rich cultural heritage to move firmly and with confidence to our cherished goal. As our imperialist masters, happily defunct, recorded a lot of half-truths and injected much bias into these records, the writer has tried to correct the bias and to review the events of the bygone era in their proper perspective
