'Magisterial' - The Financial Times An updated edition of
Ramachandra Guha's India After Gandhi with new material that
explains the major events, policy shifts and controversies of the
past decade, placing them in their proper sociological and
historical context and setting out the author's justifiable
concerns for the decline of democracy in India. Born against a
background of privation and civil war, divided along lines of
caste, class, language and religion, independent India emerged,
somehow, as a united and democratic country. Ramachandra Guha’s
hugely acclaimed book tells the full story – the pain and the
struggle, the humiliations and the glories – of the world’s
largest and least likely democracy. While India is sometimes the
most exasperating country in the world, it is also the most
interesting. Ramachandra Guha writes compellingly of the myriad
protests and conflicts that have peppered the history of free
India. Moving between history and biography, the story of modern
India is peopled with extraordinary characters. Guha gives fresh
insights into the lives and public careers of those long-serving
Prime Ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. But the book
also writes with feeling and sensitivity about lesser-known (though
not necessarily less important) Indians – peasants, tribals,
women, workers and musicians. Massively researched and elegantly
written, India After Gandhi is a remarkable account of India’s
rebirth, and a work already hailed as a masterpiece of
single-volume history. This third edition brings the story fully up
to date.
