An insightful and comprehensive introduction to contemporary India. The story of how India, the world's largest democracy, was formed is both rich and inspiring. This book, a follow-up to the best-selling "India's Struggle for Independence," explores the challenges faced and successes achieved by India, considering its colonial history and long fight for freedom. It explains how the Constitution was crafted, and how Nehruvian policies and the fundamentals of foreign policy developed. The book also discusses national consolidation, addressing contentious issues such as party politics at the central and state levels, the Punjab problem, anti-caste movements, and untouchability. This updated edition critically examines the rise of communalism and the use of state power to promote it. It covers the decline of the National Democratic Alliance in the 2004 general elections, the rise of the United Progressive Alliance, and the implications of the Indo-US Nuclear Deal, which challenged the political consensus. The edition provides detailed analysis of economic reforms since 1991, land reforms, the Green Revolution, and an overview of India’s economy in the new millennium. Additionally, it offers objective assessments of leaders including Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Jayaprakash Narayan, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Rajiv Gandhi, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Manmohan Singh, presenting a comprehensive view of a nation in motion.
