The Indian Princes and their States
Although the princes of India have been caricatured as oriental despots and British stooges, Barbara Ramusack's study argues that the British did not create the princes. On the contrary, many were consummate politicians who exercised considerable degrees of autonomy until the disintegration of the princely states after independence.

The book breaks ground in its integration of political and economic developments in the major princely states with the shifting relationships between the princes and the British. It represents a major contribution, both to British imperial history in its analysis of the theory and practice of indirect rule, and to modern South Asian history, as a portrait of the princes as politicians and patrons of the arts.

Maharanis
"In Maharanis Lucy Moore recreates the lives of four women: two grandmothers, a daughter and a granddaughter, all of them princesses of the royal courts of India."

This is an intimate portrait of a nation during an era of great change - the rise and fall of the Raj and India's long road to Independence and beyond."
