What educators are saying

An excellent set of resources to help students understand the role of imperial Britain in India - used this as part of my world religions course to understand the importance of religion in the tensions!
Very helpful for covering a vast amount of history in a short time. The specific events here were detailed enough that students gained a better understanding of the struggles at this time but not overwhelming with too much information.
