The best compendium on post-1947 India

This definitive guide to India takes us through the events, personalities and changes that have shaped the country in the seventy years since Independence. It traces the coming into being of the nation; the drawing and redrawing of its internal boundaries; and the functioning of its democracy-the transition from single-party dominance to the emergence of parties representing various ideologies and interest groups. The book records the metamorphosis of India's economy, driven by self-sufficiency to one propelled by economic reforms, liberalization and globalization. It provides a view of a society that has enacted some far-reaching legislation ensuring equal rights for all citizens and safeguarding the rights of the vulnerable.

Arranged chronologically, India since 1947 covers a wide range of topics, from agriculture, archaeology and the arts to science and technology, sports and wars, and everything else in between. A separate outline of the main events leading up to Independence and interesting factoids on each page make for an engaging read.
