About this audiobook
From about 1858 to 1947, the British ruled over India. The raj carried out orders and came up with them. There was public mistrust and dissatisfaction about their regime, which led to protests, riots, and controversial events. India was a big part of the British Empire for a long time, until the country gained its independence. Other issues happened with the Bangladeshi and the Pakistani.
Let’s explore how the rule of the British raj evolved, how their power became stronger and weaker, and what the impact of the world wars was, the nationalist groups in India, and significant figures like Mahatma Gandhi.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrator's quality was literally awesome, and so was the author's content. You won't be sorry for buying this audiobook. It gives you what it claims it does. The audiobook explains a number of viewpoints very well. It also dives deeper in to the information. My favorite sections were actually the final chapters, where the final thought became clear.
