India's Struggle for Independence-the first and most reliable study of the country's epic fight for freedom by some of India's most authoritative historians-is an established classic. Makers of Modern India presents rare and compelling excerpts from the writings and speeches of nineteen Indians whose ideas had a defining impact on the formation and evolution of our republic. India since 1947 is the definitive guide to post-Independence India, covering a wide range of topics, from agriculture, law, archaeology and the arts to science and technology, sports and wars.
