In an effort to chronicle the history of India, Meghnad Desai begins at the end of the 15th Century, and takes us through to the present day. This ambitious volume is a testament to the contradictory, diverse, difficult and undeniably fascinating saga of India as a nation.
'Meghnad Desai's learned, elegant and provocative book is sure to rekindle the debate about the idea of India, its political and cultural roots and meanings. The reader will enjoy joining the author on his journey of rediscovery, as he deftly situates the unfolding of India's modern history in its global context.' Sugata Bose, Gardiner Professor of History and Director, South Asia Initiative, Harvard University
