Book Summary
A rich and comprehensive repository of India’s political traditions, this book profiles nineteen Indians whose ideas had a defining impact on the formation and evolution of the Indian republic, and presents compelling excerpts from their writings and speeches. All of them were influential political activists, who also wrote with eloquence and authority, as they reflected on what Ramachandra Guha describes as ‘the most contentious times in the most interesting country in the world’. The topics they explore and analyze include religion, caste, gender, language, nationalism, colonialism, democracy, secularism and the economy—issues that continue to find resonance in our own times.
