Britain and India 1600-1941 is a comprehensive historical analysis of the relationship between Britain and India, spanning over three centuries. The period covered starts with the arrival of the British East India Company in 1600, through the establishment of British colonial rule in India, and ends in 1941, just before the significant developments leading to India's independence. The book examines the economic, political, social, and cultural impacts of British rule, focusing on events such as the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the rise of Indian nationalism, and the role of key figures like Mahatma Gandhi. It sheds light on the complexities of British imperialism in India.

Sir Reginald Coupland (1884–1952) was an English historian renowned for his work on the British Empire. A scholar at Oxford, he served as Beit Professor of Colonial History from 1920 to 1948. Coupland was instrumental in several key historical commissions, including the 1936–1937 Peel Commission on Mandatory Palestine. His notable works include Wilberforce (1923), The British Anti-slavery Movement (1933), and The Cripps Mission (1942). He was a strong defender of British imperialism, particularly in India, though his views were criticized by historians like Eric Williams. Coupland was knighted in 1944 and made a Fellow of All Souls' College in 1952.
