First published in 1937, India captures the tense and tumultuous
developments in India that would eventually result in her freedom a
decade later. The author, unaware of this future of freedom, still
holds hope for India's continued existence under the British
Commonwealth even as she meticulously records India's vacillating
constitutional status over several Round Table Conferences. The
Conferences reveal what the author considers India's greatest
problem: protracted strife within various religious and social
communities. The casual racism and the superiority complex spread
across the book is a reminder that the author thinks and talks like
a coloniser, but if one can get past that, the book will prove to
be an engaging read with its interesting anecdotes, astute
observations, and a failed prediction. Students of postcolonial
studies, history, ethnic studies, colonial history, and journalism
will greatly benefit from reading this book.
