Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd., 1971. 2nd edition. Hardcover. Fine. 15 x 23 cm. The present work based principally on unpublished records, French and English, is the first attempt to write a comprehensive History of the French in India, 1763-1816. The period was less thrilling in dramatic interest than the time of Dupleix, Bussy and Lally, but nevertheless of great historical importance, since it was during these years that the Political destiny of India was taking a new shape. The Principal object of the present work Is to carry on the story of Anglo-Fresh rivalry in India from the point where it is generally supposed to have ended to the time when it really came to a final close. But while putting emphasis on the political projects, intrigues and actual Military efforts of the French to retrieve their fortunes In India, sufficient attention has also been given to the internal history of the French settlements, including administration, economic condition and trade and commerce. The work is thus a comprehensive history of the French in India for the period under review, and not merely an Account of the later phase of Anglo-French hostilities. The real importance of the Anglo-French rivalry in India in the 18th century lay in the new turn it gave to India`s political destiny. The prolonged struggle for power between two European Nations was mainly instrumental in bringing India into close contact with the West, with all the Consequences which followed from it. Now that both the nations who fought for supremacy in India have been forced by circumstances to leave the scene of their earlier conflict and the chapter of Western political domination has come to a close, it is possible for us to take a more balanced view of the results of India`s contact with the West. That is why the time is now appropriate to retell the story of Anglo-French rivalry in India, not as an Isolated event, but as the starting point of that historical process through which India could become part of the one world.
