I did some looking myself and found this.
The Last Mughal
Looks interesting
everything by william dalrymple and pankaj mishra. some of mishra's stuff is more present day than history, but it's rooted in a lot of postcolonialist analysis which of course draws heavily on history.

also read http://www.amazon.com/Empires-Indus-The-Story-River/dp/0393338606 by alice albinia. very well written, it's both a travelogue and a history primer of the communities along the indus. great read
My recommendation is The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty. It's about the last Mughal Emperor of India and the rise of the British Raj. Even though not written by an India, Dalrymple's research heavily relied on previously undiscovered documents in the Indian Archives. Also it has pictures!
You should also check out William Dalrymple's [other books] (http://www.amazon.com/William-Dalrymple/e/B000API5E8/ref=la_B000API5E8_pg_1?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_82%3AB000API5E8&ie=UTF8&qid=1397287440). His last book, [Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan, 1839-42] (http://www.amazon.com/Return-King-Afghanistan-1839-42-Vintage/dp/0307948536/ref=la_B000API5E8_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397287446&sr=1-1), deals with the British East India Company's first foray into Afghanistan.
