About the Book

Written by the legendary triumvirate of Indian historiography—Bipan Chandra, Mridula Mukherjee, and Aditya Mukherjee—India Since Independence: Revised and Updated represents a seminal, highly sophisticated, and intellectually rigorous academic masterpiece that masterfully interrogates the complex post-colonial evolution of the world's largest democracy. Acting as the definitive sequel to the classic India's Struggle for Independence, this monumental volume deconstructs the multi-dimensional processes of nation-building from the pivotal epoch of 1947 through to the early twenty-first century. Rather than relying on simple, linear historical chronologies, the authors deploy an analytical framework to evaluate the consolidation of the Indian union, the meticulous formulation of the Indian Constitution, and the development of the Nehruvian socio-political and economic consensus. The text offers a profound critical analysis of India's foreign policy parameters, the strategic nuances of party politics at the Center and States, the Punjab crisis, and the deep-seated challenges of anti-caste mobilization and structural inequalities. Calibrated specifically for serious scholars, public policy analysts, and civil services aspirants, the elegant, authoritative prose provides highly structured pathways to comprehend the structural resilience, systemic successes, and underlying vulnerabilities that have shaped contemporary India. Sourced directly from publishers, Pepper Books guarantees that every physical paperback is delivered nationwide in pristine protective packaging with flawless, crisp borders.
