As Tirthankar Roy explains in his preface, this book aims to be no more than an updated and shorter version of the Cambridge Economic History of India, Vol. II (henceforth CEHI), one that will provide an accessible textbook on the economic history of colonial India for the compulsory course in the subject in most Indian universities. In this task he has been successful. Instead of ploughing through the detailed chapters of the otherwise indispensable CEHI, students and their teachers now have a useful educational aid which summarizes the latest research by economic historians of India.
