FROM MAIL TO EMAIL : The Story of the Indian Post Office

The Indian Post Office as it exists today is more than 250 years old and is a contribution of the British. But there are hardly any books that narrate the fascinating story of this great institution in a language unimpeded by scholarship.

The book records the history of the Indian Post Office from the arrival of the British in India in the early part of the 17th century to the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It presents a readable narrative of the history of the Indian Post Office from its creation by the British rulers to the year 2010-11 in a style that would appeal to the general public conversant with the English language, as well as the student of history and the specialist scholar.
