India stands as a beacon of hope and resilience in Asia, as a thriving democracy, a secular republic, and a growing economic power. This book captures the contributions of important people, events, and institutions that have shaped India in its 75 years as an independent country. Each entry is a captivating stand-alone story which traces the genesis and importance of the subject's contribution. Sharp insights, analyses, and questions of "what if?" pepper the entries, prompting the reader to think deeper. Together, they represent the kaleidoscope that is modern India, making up a fascinating mosaic of the myriad influences that have made India a liberal democracy and a plural society.This book would be of interest primarily to academics, scholars, and university students, but especially to young people, civil service aspirants, and researchers who would find a compendium of this kind useful in garnering a nuanced understanding of the history of independent India.
