About this title

Synopsis

Events in the Indian sub-continent during the 1970s, where, in the summer of 1975, the ruling party engineered a constitutional coup by declaring a national emergency, re-emphasised the need for a fuller understanding of India s social system and people. First published the following year, in 1976, Inside India Todayattempted to fulfil that need. Drawing on personal interviews, conducted during his two years travels throughout the country collecting a mass of first hand evidence, and on various surveys and studies published in the press, the author sketches a broad portrait of Indian life in the villages and cities. Hiro relates this research to the existing socio-political structure of the time: the constitutional framework, the electoral system, the performance of the Indian National Congress and the Communist system. Written in an accessible, engaging styleand containing a wealth of information and insight, Inside India Todayis a major contribution towards the scholarship surrounding this complex and fascinating country."
