Ramachandra Guha is perhaps one of India’s best historians currently.
This book of his talks about India’s history after it gained
independence from the British. This is the perfect book for you to
understand the evolution of Modern India. Guha, a former professor and
now historian, does an awe-inspiring job of making sense of India’s
chaotic and eventful history since independence – the partition, Nehru’s
socialist policies, Rajiv Gandhi’s brief but impactful career, the rise
of religion and caste-based politics – almost everything you want to
know is there in this 900-page book.
