I finished reading The Anarchy this week. I enjoyed reading it and gaining more knowledge about Indian history I also felt the author being a Mughal apologist.
Throughout the book, the author mentions the atrocities committed by the British, the Jats, the Marathas, the Rohillas et all.
I got to know about the powerful Marathas and Mysore, Tipu who were the only formidable forces fighting against the East India Company, the reason being their close alliance with the French.
East India Company was an enterprise with a monopoly, it was no less than the modern-day Google, Facebook according to the author.
How amazing India would have been without British Invasion? Much richer with our culture and economy both. Awadh, Bengal and all provinces would have existed with its own culture like Europe? Or we would have fought battles among others?
