A Short History of The Indian Partition
Author: Gautam Madhav
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
To understand the present, we need to understand the past. To that extent the importance of Partition in South Asia's current political situation cannot be understated. The imprint of Partition plays a major role in all spheres of public life. Even at an individual level, many of us carry the unspoken memories of the Partition. The trauma is encoded in our DNA and the wounds never healed. The current book intends to give the viewer a comprehensive overview of the event starting from its very genesis post 1857 Indian Revolt. It covers the key events, the violence that followed as well as provides a few other perspectives that are not part of the popular narratives yet. Its a short read intended to make an understanding of the event accessible to a broader set of readers.A complex event that spans many decades, multiple incidents, events, pacts, letters etc. that could be aggregated into millions, if not billions of data points. It is an event of elephantine proportions - any one perspective risks classifying the viewer as one of the blind men of Hindustan. This book provides an overview from the beginning to the end.

Malevolent Republic
Author: K.S. (Kapil Satish) Komireddi
Publisher: Hurst Publishers
ISBN: 1805261789
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
After decades of imperfect secularism, presided over by an often corrupt Congress establishment, Nehru’s diverse republic has yielded to Hindu nationalism. India, the first major democracy to fall to demagogic populism in the twenty-first century, is racing to a point of no return. Since 2014, the ruling BJP has unleashed forces that are irreversibly transforming the country. Indian democracy, honed over decades, is now the chief enabler of Hindu extremism. Bigotry has been ennobled as a healthy form of self-assertion. Anti Muslim vitriol has deluged the mainstream. Religious minorities live in terror of a vengeful majority. Congress now mimics Modi; other parties pray for a miracle. In this highly acclaimed critique of post-Independence India from Nehru to Narendra Modi, revised and expanded with a new chapter, K.S. Komireddi charts the dismaying course of the world’s largest democracy. He argues that the missteps of the nation’s founders, the mistakes of Nehru, the betrayals of his daughter and her sons, the anti-democratic fetish for technocracy carried to extremes by Manmohan Singh—all of them prepared the way for Modi’s march to absolute power. If secularists fail to wrest the republic from Hindu supremacists, Komireddi argues, India may go the way of Yugoslavia and collapse under the burden of sinister ethno-religious nationalism. A gripping short history of modern India, Malevolent Republic is also a passionate plea for India’s reclamation.
