The Argumentative Indian by Amartya Sen

“Depending how you count, almost any nation could be portrayed as argumentative. But he uses this central theme to range over an amazing breadth of scholarship”

Kaushik Basu, Economist

India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy by Ramachandra Guha

“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.”

Kaushik Basu, Economist

Raag Darbari by Shrilal Shukla (translated by Gillian Wright)

“I love this book because it is a rather cynical, but wonderfully humorous, portrayal of life in an Indian village in Uttar Pradesh, around the time of independence and a bit later as well. I have been in many of these villages and written stories about villages myself, and I think that it is much the best book I have ever read about that sort of life in India. So many of the books that are highly praised about India are about the middle classes, or else they are about urban India and present a very bleak, black-with-no-white picture of it. This one has black, white and grey. It has enormous humour and is about rural, semi-rural and urbanising India. I find it absolutely fascinating and also a very good laugh.”

Mark Tully, Foreign Correspondent

The writers, Mark Tully and Patrick French, Pankaj Mishra and Professor Meghnad Desai chose their best books on India.  They all try to encompass modern India’s cultural diversity and social complexity.  There is some overlap.  Mark Tully and Pankaj Mishra both chose Amartya Sen’s The Argumentative Indian to explain the deep (pre-colonial) roots of Indian democracy and Desai and French both chose India after Gandhi by Ramachandra Guha as the best introduction to understanding the recent history of the country. Sen’s book is also picked by William Dalrymple in his choice of books on India, Ancient and Modern.

Roy Moxham looks at Indian Journeys and Victor Mallet picks books on the Ganges and the Indus in his top five books on Asian Rivers.

Kaushik Basu chooses his top books on the Indian economy (and includes both The Argumentative Indian by Sen and India after Gandhi by Guha) and Brian Shoesmith chooses his best books on Indian Film.  Vishakha Desai discusses the place of women in India in her best books on Asian women. Kushanava Choudhury chooses five books that inspired him as a novelist.
