After the Raj: The Last Stayers-On and the Legacy of British India
After the Raj: The Last Stayers-On and the Legacy of British India

Evocative histories of British India's enduring legacies.

If the intricate tapestry of history fascinates you, "After the Raj" will transport you through a mesmerizing journey of nostalgia and change. It's more than history; it's a series of personal stories wrapped in the evolution of a nation. Witness a unique perspective on how colonial legacies transform over decades into a modern identity, as told by the last few who've lived through the ripple of an empire's end.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
