The British in India: A Social History of the Raj is a nonfiction book by David Gilmour, a British historian.
The book paints a vivid picture of British people living in India from the seventeenth century until the country's independence in 1947. [1]
Isaac Chotiner, writing for The New York Times suggests, "With [The Book], Gilmour, metaphorical microscope in hand, has written a broad-ranging but precise and intimate examination of the British men and women who served and lived on the subcontinent." [2]
Lomarsh Roopnarine, a Professor of Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Jackson State University in his review of the book wrote at The Historian (journal) , "The author navigates the social lives of about 150,000 servicemen and women without replicating the previously explored themes of British Raj."
