Description
The Grand Trunk Road in the Punjab: 1849-1886 is a comprehensive historical study that explores one of South Asia’s most important transportation corridors during a transformative period of colonial rule. Written by K.M. Sarkar and H.L.O. Garrett, this monograph provides detailed documentation of the road’s construction, development, and the broader implications for Punjab’s economy, society, and administration.
The work examines how the Grand Trunk Road served as a crucial artery for commerce, military movement, and administrative control during the late 19th century. Through careful historical analysis, the authors illustrate the relationship between infrastructure development and colonial policy, while documenting the impact on local communities, trade patterns, and regional connectivity. This scholarly monograph remains an essential resource for historians, researchers, and students of South Asian colonial history.
