Seventy-fiveyears after Independence, India faces stark questions. Some of the mostpressing ones relate to jobs and the cost of living. But questions about thestate of our democracy are equally critical, if not more so. When India wonindependence and prepared to become the world's largest democracy, the people, through their leaders and elected representatives, looked to create a nationbuilt on the ideals of equality, liberty, and fraternity. That this seemed asuccessful exercise-in a densely populated country with high levels ofilliteracy and poverty, a bewildering variety of religions, castes, andlanguages, and a history of internal conflict-surprised many and gave hope tomany more. However, over the years, these ideals have repeatedly come underattack.
A timely study of the state of the nationfrom one of our foremost thinkers, India After 1947 is an essential readthat reminds us of who we are as a nation and what we should aim to be.
