In 1757, under the command of Robert Clive, Company forces defeated the ruling Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula of Bengal at Plassey, through a combination of superior artillery and even more superior chicanery. I have bought a number of books on Amazon but shabby packaging, though price is very reasonable and the quality is good, has forced a rethink on ordering some more books.
Insightful and thought provoking. --By deepali mohokar on 30 October 2016
In his precisely worded book “An Era of Darkness”, Shashi Tharoor puts forth many powerful arguments, that will no doubt convince the staunchest Anglophile, about why the British rule in India meant nothing but violence, injustice and deprivation.

To pay by cash, place cash on top of the delivery box and step back.‘[Tharoor] has produced a bestseller that will re-ignite thinking and debate and open the eyes of the younger generation in India and hopefully in Britain on this “era of darkness’…Tharoor’s new contribution is that he even takes apart the commonly accepted argument…that the British Empire left quite a bit of good in India…’ —Business Standard ‘By rewriting the history of the British Raj as it really was, Tharoor has lifted a great load from millions of still-colonised minds in this country; while simultaneously providing an opportunity to the heirs of carpetbaggers and adventurers of the Raj to atone and apologize.’ —Education World‘Tharoor’s arguments have smashed to smithereens the claim that the British prepared India for a system of parliamentary democracy and laid the foundation for the rule of law…we all should be grateful to Tharoor for writing a book of enduring value, and it will be desirable to see it translated into different Indian languages as it is of interest to the public at large.’ —Frontline‘Shashi Tharoor’s latest, An Era of Darkness, is one breathless read…Until [this book] came along, there was no single work that clearly and unambiguously catalogued all the harm done to India under British rule.’ —Business Line ‘The book serves to correct many misconceptions about one of the most contested periods of Indian history’. Keep up your good work. Sashi Tharoor has brilliantly elucidated the loot and the deceit indulged in by the British.
Only part way through the book, and although extremely informative, the writing style and content does seem to bounce around quite a bit making it difficult to become totally engrossed.
