Praise for INDIA AFTER GANDHI

‘Finally, here is a history of democratic India that is every bit as sweeping as the country itself… [A] magisterial work’ EDWARD LUCE, Financial Times

A formidable undertaking

As comprehensive, balanced and elegantly crafted as any reasonable reader could expect PHILIP ZIEGLER, Spectator

[A] dazzling book London Review of Books

‘Guha is a scholar of astounding energy and ingenuity, and his book triumphantly dismisses an often-made plea: that India’s contemporary history cannot be written because (as a result of government pigheadedness) the sources are not available. He seems to have visited every archive from Alabama to Allahabad, Calcutta to California, delving into a sea of private correspondence, news reports, pamphlet ephemera, as well as state papers. The result is a fascinating, kaleidoscopic narrative Daily Telegraph

‘Guha has given democratic India the rich, well-paced history it deserves’ Washington Post

‘Combining academic rigour with the readability of a thriller, India After Gandhi is a breathtaking survey’
