Review # 1 was written on 2021-08-27 00:00:00 jame smith This book is India's political journey before partition till Indira's time through the lens of Indian journalist. It focuses more on Congress, Indian political and international affairs. This book doesn't do hero worshiping like India after Gandhi by Guha. This book try to be neutral and show us the reality. Even through journalist was closed to literally every major congress leaders back then. Read this book to understand how our nation was build, how many leaders were compromised, who had messiah complex. It shows various point of view, be it Jinnah, Muslim league, Britishers and non congress leaders. The seeds our leaders sowed before and after Independence will help you understand the complexities of present-day politics in India.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-09-01 00:00:00 Lily Lily A masterpiece that gives a overarching account of Indian history and politics over fifty years - from Curzon right up to the second decade after independence - and contains enough anecdotes and personal insights to make it most readable... The author gives a record of many illustrious personages whose reputation has not persisted and in his own understated way, provides an explanation where the wrong path in the way was taken.... Dont know why this gem has not achieved the renown it rightly deserves
