Marginal Europeans - In Colonial India: 1860-1920
Marginal Europeans - In Colonial India: 1860-1920

Revealing colonial India's forgotten European underclass

If you have an interest in the untold stories of colonial history, "Marginal Europeans - In Colonial India: 1860-1920" is an eye-opener. It digs deep into the lives of Europeans in India who didn't fit the typical narrative of the ruling elite. The book is a meticulously researched account that challenges the conventional image of colonial society, making it a compelling read for history buffs and those curious about the complex layers of the past.

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.
