India After Gandhi
by Ramachandra Guha
As a book on recent India, it’s one of the best, maybe the best, that I’ve read.
Recommendations from our site
“As a book on recent India, it’s one of the best, maybe the best, that I’ve read – a mammoth amount of information, put together in a way that anybody can read.”
“It gets right inside that period of the first few decades after independence in a way that I don’t think any other book does.”
“This is a very detailed account of India over the past 60 years in one single volume. It is pro-Nehru, so it is a very secular view.”
