I have finally finished reading this book - it took me more than two months to finish it though. The book is a good read especially if one wants to know how India shaped up after Independence .Beginning with Nehru to 2003 the author Ramachandra Guha captures everything- the Partiton the Kashmir issue, secessionary tendencies in North East , war with China, Indira Gandhi and the war of 1971 with Pakistan. It touches on even movies and even the evolution of All India Radio
The book ends with something a very interesting insight - "so long as Hindi movies are watched and their songs sung,India will survive."
