The Idea of India
20th Anniversary Edition
Sunil Khilnani
This historical study delves into the complexities of India's democracy, tackling the paradoxes and ironies of the world's largest democracy. The author explores the fate of India's political construct and the debates among the country's founders and their successors over who is an Indian, modernity, and India's place in the world. The book offers incisive portraits of Gandhi, Nehru, and others, while reflecting on the book's relevance to recent developments in the country. Can the original idea of India survive its own successes? A must-read for those interested in Indian politics and history.
