It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the age of discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus' expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution-the Government of India Act of 1919. This includes international developments leading to the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers that tangibly impacted this journey."--Front jacket folded flap; Includes bibliographical references and index; Foreword; by Dr. Gautam Sen -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction --; Section I; Coloniality --; Section II; Civilisation --; Section III; Constitution -- Notes -- Index -- About the author; Also available as an e-book ER -
