Subject: Re: Suggestions for Indian history text?



I have used Stanley Wolpert's "A New History of India," fifth 
edition, for just this purpose.
Wolpert recently retired after teaching the subject for 40 years at UCLA.

I will be teaching an undergraduate course in Indian literature in English,
and would like to begin with an overview of the historical events that are
re-presented in the works we'll be reading. Does anyone have recommendations
for a text surveying modern Indian history (i.e, c. 1700-present) that would
be accessible to undergraduates (i.e., not too lengthy or theoretical)?

Thank you for your suggestions,
