Synopsis

‘Probably the best non-fictional introduction to the politics of present-day India’ 
Michael Foot, Evening Standard

‘His splendid book about definitions of the Indian nation … is a masterful rebuttal to all cultural romantics and religious chauvinists’ 
Ian Buruma, New York Review of Books

‘The aim of this brilliant book is to explain, not to predict, to show how India has reached her present position, her idea of herself, and to indicate the strengths and weaknesses … a work of great intelligence, a book that manages to identify, unravel and explain many of the complexities of modern India … it is difficult to praise too highly’ 
David Gilmour, Independent on Sunday

‘An incisive interrogation of political dynasticism, uneven modernity, religious discord and life after colonialism’ 
Roy Foster, Irish Times

‘Extremely important and elegantly written … his book is a majestic one’ 
Rudrangshu Mukherjee, Telegraph (Calcutta)

‘Sunil Khilnani’s meditation on India since Independence is a tour de force’ 
John Grigg, Sunday Telegraph
