India After Gandhi: The History of the World''s Largest Democracy Book Information:

a background of privation and civil war, divided along lines of caste, class, language and religion, independent India emerged, somehow, as a united and democratic country. Ramachandra Guhas hugely acclaimed book tells the full story the pain and the struggle, the humiliations and the glories of the worlds largest and least likely democracy.While India is sometimes the most exasperating country in the world, it is also the most interesting. Ramachandra Guha writes compellingly of the myriad protests and conflicts that have peppered the history of free India. Moving between history and biography, the story of modern India is peopled with extraordinary characters. Guha gives fresh insights into the lives and public careers of those long-serving Prime Ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. But the book also writes with feeling and sensitivity about lesser-known (though not necessarily less important) Indians peasants, tribals, women, workers and musicians.Massively researched and elegantly written, India After Gandhi is a remarkable account of Indias rebirth, and a work already hailed as a masterpiece of single volume history. This tenth anniversary edition, published to coincide with seventy years of Indias independence, is revised and expanded to bring the narrative up to the present.
