From a seemingly closed off, economically stagnant land, with intractable problems of poverty and population, India has in a short space of time reached astonishing levels of growth. Misra presents a history, starting with the Great Mutiny of 1857, allowing us to understand this extraordinary transformation.

"An ambitious project. . . . Misra reveals how India has drawn most sustenance from its diversity and plurality." -- Soumya Bhattacharya "Observer" (11/04/2007) "An enlightening and witty portrait of a lively democracy, peopled with fascinating characters. There could be no better introduction for anyone wishing to find out about modern India." -- Septimus Waugh "American Conservative" (04/21/2008) "An accessible account of the history of India that brings the story right up to date. . . . To write a history in one volume on how modern India has evolved is a daunting task but one Misra has skillfully executed." -- Talat Ahmed "BBC History Magazine" (11/04/2007)
