To be frank, given my slightly, the so-called right-wing inclinations Ramchandra Guha was an unlikely candidate.

India after Gandhi is my first major book on Indian history, particularly, post independence, modern history. A good compilation of post independence Indian history by Ramachandra Guha. It is a unique book in that I have not seen any other book cover the period after Indian Independence in any meaningful sense.
