A New History of India - Softcover
"A dramatic as well as insightful account...the greatest virtue of this new history is to be seen in the author's ability to convey the magnitude and complexity of India's problems, of a country with a strange mix of tradition and modernity...Extremely well written and spice with human interest items." The History Teacher
