British India

From the East India Company's seizure of Bengal at Plassey and a century of company rule, through the great rebellion of 1857 and the coming of the British Crown's Raj, to the birth of the national movement, the shock of Amritsar and Gandhi's mass struggle for freedom, ending in independence and the agony of Partition. Slide across two centuries in which a trading company and then an empire ruled India — and Indians remade themselves into a nation and won their liberty.
