religion,independent Indiaemerged,somchow,as a united and democraticcountry.This remarkable book tells the full story一the pain and the struggle,the humiliations and theglories—of the world's largest and least likelydemocracy.  \nRamachandra Guha writes compellingly of themyriad protests and conflicts that have peppered thehistory of free India.But he writes also of the factorsand processes that have kept the country together(and kept it democratic),defying numerous prophetsof doom who believed that its poverty and heteroge-neity would force India to break up or come underautocratic rule.Once the Western world looked uponIndia with a mixture of pity and contempt;now itlooks upon India with fear and admiration.  \nMoving between history and biography,this storyof modern India is peopled with extraordinarycharacters.Guha gives fresh insights on the lives andpublic careers of those long-serving prime ministersJawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi.There are vividsketches of the major “provincial”leaders whoseprovince was as large as a European country:theKashmiri rebel turned ruler Sheikh Abdullah;the Tamil flm actor turned politician M.G.Rama-chandran;the Naga secessionist leader Angami ZapuPhizo;the socialist activist Jayaprakash Narayan.But the book also writes with feeling and sensitivityabout lesser known(though not necessarily less im-portant)Indians-peasants,tribals,women,workersand musicians.  \nMassively researched and clegantly written,IndiaAfter Gandhi is at once a magisterial account of India'srebirth and the work of a major scholar at the heightof his powers.  \nCivic Center'Books954.04 GuhaGuha,RamachandraIndia after Gandhi:thehistory of the world'slargest democracy311110272590907107  \nDATE DUE  \n\n| 21、0   |
