Seventy-Five Years After Independence, India Faces Stark Questions. Some Of The Most Pressing Ones Relate To Jobs And The Cost Of Living. But Questions About The State Of Our Democracy Are Equally Critical, If Not More So. When India Won Independence And Prepared To Become The Worlds Largest Democracy, The People, Through Their Leaders And Elected Representatives, Looked To Create A Nation Built On The Ideals Of Equality, Liberty, And Fraternity. That This Seemed A Successful Exercisein A Densely Populated Country With High Levels Of Illiteracy And Poverty, A Bewildering Variety Of Religions, Castes, And Languages, And A History Of Internal Conflictsurprised Many And Gave Hope To Many More. However, Over The Years, These Ideals Have Repeatedly Come Under Attack. In The Book, The Author Reflects On Key Issues That India Will Need To Deal With. He Asks If Indias Future Will Be Dictated By The Resentful Victimhood That Seems To Grip The Champions Of Hindu Nationalism In A Country Where Hindus Dominate The Economy, The Polity, The Media, The Culture, And Everything Else. Or Will Calm, Thoughtful, Self-Critical Yet Confident Young Indianshindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, And Othersprevail And Continue To Build A Country That Treats Everyone As Equal? He Addresses Debates About The Idea, Image, And Personality Of Ram Throughout Indias Life And History; Analyses The Fallout Of Partition And The Concept Of Akhand Bharat; And Delves Into What Mahatma Gandhi Stood For And Againstall Of Them Issues That Are Contested In Todays India. In Addition To These Reflections, The Author Looks Back At The History Of The Nation From 1947 Onwards And Examines What We, The People Of India, Should Do To Remain A Viable And Vibrant Democracy That Ensures That None Of Its Citizens Are Left Behind Or Feel Oppressed, Unwelcome, Or Unsafe. A Timely Study Of The State Of The Nation From One Of Our Foremost Thinkers, India After 1947 Is An Essential Read That Reminds Us Of Who We Are As A Nation And What We Should Aim To Be.
