The sources for the history of modern India help us to know the political,socio economic and cultural developments in the country.From the very beginning, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French,the Danes and the English recorded their official transactions in India on state papers.
We can write history with the help of sources like written sources and material sources.
After the advent of the printing press numerous books were published in different languages.Hence, people began to acquire knowledge easily in the fields like art, literature, history and science. Written sources include the literatures, Travel Accounts,Diaries,Auto Biographies Pamphlets,Government Documents and Manuscripts.
This is the place where historical documents are preserved.The National Archives of India NAI is located in New Delhi.It is the chief storehouse of the records of government of India.It has main source of information for understanding past administrative machinery as well as a guide to the present and future generations related to all matters.It contains authentic evidence for knowing the political,social, economic,cultural and scientific life and activities of people of India.It is one of the largest Archives in Asia.
Many paintings and statues are the main sources of modern Indian history.They give us a lot of information and the achievement of national leaders and historical personalities.Historical buildings like St. Francis Church at Cochin, St. Louis Fort at Pondicherry, St. George Fort in Madras, St. David Fort in Cuddalore, India Gate, Parliament House, President House in New Delhi, etc are different styles and techniques of Indian architecture.Other objects and materials of religious, cultural and historical value are collected and preserved in Museums. These museums help to preserve and promote our cultural heritage.The national museum in Delhi is the largest museum in India which established in 1949.
Coins are a good source to know about administrative history.The first coinage in modern India under the crown was issued in 1862.Edward VII ascended after queen Victoria and the coins issued by him bore his model.The Reserve Bank of India was formally set up in 1935 and was empowered to issue Government of India notes.The first paper currency issued by RBI in January 1938 was 5 rupee notes bearing the portrait of King George VI.
