Excerpts From the Prologue

India is on the way to becoming “Ätma Nirbhar Bharat" in the 21st Century. Many reforms and policies are carved within the framework of Neo-liberalism and Globalization. India is coping up at the national and international levels. The Book has very precisely highlighted different issues such as economic development. Foreign policy, social movements, governance & administration, political scenario and the judiciary. I am sure this book will provide ample scope to students, readers and policymakers to get insight into India's glorious past and its bright future.

Testimonials

"The book will be an interesting read for students and also for people who intend to know about the nation. In my view it is a complete and comprehensive study of developments in post-independence India, with all chapters being sequenced in a manner that makes the process of understanding easier. It is not only useful for civil services and other competitive exams aspirants, but also very interesting for those who might like to read about contemporary Indian history and Socio-political developments. My compliments to the authors for the hard work they have put in to create this asset with exhaustive analysis of important issues. It successfully fills the gaps that exist in the narrative of the nation in the post-independence era and I am sure that the readers, especially all aspirants for the civil services examination will find the contents of the book, in terms of the politics, history and economics since independence, very useful."
