The Making of India

The Untold Story of British Enterprise

By: Kartar Lalvani

The first ever history of India to explore the benefits – institutional, political and civil – of British Colonial Rule on the subcontinent. The story of The Making of India begins in the seventeenth century, when a small seafaring island, one tenth the size of the Indian subcontinent, despatched sailing ships over 11,000 miles on a five-month trading journey in search of new opportunities. In the end they helped build a new nation. The sheer audacity and scale of such an endeavour, the courage and enterprise, have no parallel in world history. This book is the first to assess in a single volume almost all aspects of Britain's remarkable contribution in providing India with its lasting institutional and physical infrastructure, which continues to underpin the world's largest democracy in the twenty-first century.

Why Britain Needs Our Monarchy

Never Again To Be Taken For Granted

By: Kartar Lalvani

Why Britain Needs our Monarchy is a challenge to so many who are too quick to moan, too ready to demonstrate their anger at the slightest offense and an unwillingness to recognise that without the solid foundations which the United Kingdom has built up over the centuries, life could be very different. It has become a land of rights triumphing over responsibilities. The key foundation is our Monarchy. The authors focus on the treasures of our institutions, the positives, while acknowledging the flows of the present, the economic tensions, the dangers of war, the social unrest. They urge us to take a lead out of the example set so long ago by Her Majesty Elizabeth II when she vowed to dedicate her life to serving her people which she did for decades without so much as a murmur of complaint.
