The study of 19th century India (years 1801- 1900) provides a glimpse of India in its earlier centuries, while many records of the period are available due to the western influences.
The most important events that occurred are the establishment of British in India, the First Indian War of Independence, the end of Mughal empire, and early signs of Indian renaissance that led to India's freedom and drastic social reforms.
Some of the important Indians who lived in 19th century are: Dayanand Saraswati, Bahadur Shah II, Raja Ravi Varma, and Raja Ram Mohan Roy.
In the context of the second half of the 19th century, the feeling of being cheated and swept aside by progress that was experienced to a painful degree by the more sensitive minds, caused those people to become defensive, aggressive and dismissive against the modern time.
Cataclysmic writers of the late 19th century such as Ignatius Donnelly shared the feeling of being cheated and swept aside by progress, and they were therefore on the defensive against modern times.
Kenneth Roemer states that, "...many late 19th century Americans suffered from 'future shock'...," in the sense that they were thoroughly confused, even frightened, by the swift and profound changes of their time (Roemer 5).
