The shaping of Modern India is the title given by Daniel Thorner to an economic, social and political treatment of the British period in Indian history which he completed in 1948, after his doctoral thesis on the Indian railways and his wartime service in Delhi. Although he never published the manuscript in its original form, he drew upon it for a chapter in a symposium volume and a series of Encyclopedia articles; he also distributed it as a textbook to his students at the University of Pennsylvania.
