Among the positives, this is one of the few books which talks comprehensively about independent India and presents a good picture about the challenges facing a newly born country immediately after independence. However, it is disappointing that most of the book is a collection of biased opinions (without valid logic or facts). In the foreword, the author mentions that 'the riots of 2002 were the biggest challenge to Indian democracy since independence'. There was no mention of the 1975 emergency...more
Informative but biased reading of history. Maybe because of all JNU writers.
dont attemp to interpret contemporary history without reading this book.

A comprehensive text book on post independence Indian history.
So far just feels like Congress propaganda... but I have nothing else to read here...
It's just a pity that large parts of the book read like blatant propaganda...
biased writing supporting congress . seems to be written by congress leader
I've read the newer version "India Since Independence".
