Is our national identity flawed? and is it by design? who is to blame?
These are a few fundamental questions Mr. Shourie is trying to answer in this book.
I must confess, while going through the first 50 or so pages, I had almost decided that Mr. Shourie had written this book to settle a personal score with a few from some organization. How wrong I was!

3. Even the russian are fair in your history then these eminent historians.
I think its the time for leftist an...more

Arun Shourie gives a different point of view on what the Indian Mind thinks of History . Great read...some parts are dragging with overt display of research paper. Does make one think
