[Book Review] A New Look at Modern Indian History by B.L.Grover and Alka Mehta

This is an important book on Modern Indian History especially for the events before the Revolt of 1857 and after Government of India Act of 1935. The book is a fantastically arranged and divided into 50 chapters. The most interesting and favourable part of this book is that it has chapters dedicated to the tenures of Governor-Generals (before Revolt of 1857) and Viceroys (after Act of Better Government, 1858). The book talks about facts and draws conclusions from them.
