After Midnight
About This Book
When India became independent, few people thought a country stitched together from British provinces and more than 500 princely states could last even a few years. It had been stripped of its wealth, ravaged by disease and famine, and divided along tense communal lines. Yet in the 75 years since, it has gone further than anyone expected. After Midnight asks how that happened. It covers the social, political, scientific, technological, military, environmental and economic changes the country has lived through. Personal anecdotes, illustrations, infographics, timelines and quotations are woven through the text. Meghaa Gupta presents the diverse ideas that have shaped India and gives readers a broad context for the present. The book calls this one of history's great stories of an underdog beating the odds, full of blood, sweat, tragedy and triumph.
