Swadhinata Uttar Bharat

Covering the long journey of Indian history from 1947 to 2022, this book presents a fact-based analysis across nine chapters and is not a celebratory saga of progress but a detached and critical reading of history; while examining politics, foreign policy, and the economy during the era of Jawaharlal Nehru and his successors, the book naturally engages with India’s agrarian system and the movements that emerged around it, including detailed discussions of the Telangana and Naxalbari movements, which significantly enrich the narrative. The author weaves together analyses of Indira Gandhi’s Emergency, the Punjab crisis, the Kashmir issue, and the rise of Hindu nationalist politics into a coherent and tightly structured account, while the final chapter outlines the framework of repressive laws in independent India, helping general readers, researchers, and students alike to understand the contemporary period; with its rigorous presentation of facts and lean, unsentimental prose, the book enables readers to know, comprehend, and deeply feel the complexities of the country.
