What makes India a nation? What has held its many disparate
societies with their diverse, sometimes conflicting, narratives
together for more than sixty years? What has allowed India to
sustain its commitment to the democratic process, given its
location in a region that is largely undemocratic? In this
magisterial analysis of the last five hundred years of Indian
history, Meghnad Desai looks at India's colonial past, its struggle
for independence and its many contemporary conundrums, to discover
answers to the questions that have confronted India-watchers for
decades. Meghnad Desai draws on a wealth of sources to illuminate
India's journey to the twenty-first century. Whether it is an
examination of British parliamentary debates on the question of
India's independence, or the liberalization of the economy after
decades of licence-permit Raj, or the state's complicity in the
Gujarat riots, Meghnad Desai's original, occasionally iconoclastic,
approach to seemingly settled arguments makes The Rediscovery of
India a ground-breaking and comprehensive account of India's past
and present.
