India
£8.96
A new edition of the most authoritative & highly-regarded single-volume history of India. Fully revised to include the most recent research & to cover events from partition to the present day. In ' India: A History' five millennia of the sub-continent's history are interpreted by one of our finest writers on India & the Far East. This definitive work combines narrative pace & skill with social economic & cultural analysis. India's history begins with a highly advanced urban civilisation in the Indus valley regressing to a tribal & pastoral nomadism & then evolving into a uniquely stratified society. The pattern of inward invasion plus outward migration was established early: from Alexander the Great via the march of Islam & the great Moghuls to the coming of the East India Company & the establishment of the British Raj. Older richer & more distinctive than almost any other India's culture furnishes all that the historian could wish for in the way of continuity & diversity. The peoples of the Indian subcontinent while sharing a common history & culture are not now & never have been a single unitary state; the book accommodates Pakistan & Bangladesh as well as other embryonic nation states like the Sikh Punjab Muslim Kashmir & Assam. In this brilliant new edition John Keay continues the narrative of India's history -- covering events from partition to the present day & examining the very different fortunes of the three successor states: Pakistan Bangladesh & the Republic of India. Based on the latest research this is an indispensible history of a country set to be a definitive influence on the future of world economics politics & culture. ...

India Grows At Night
£19.99
Indias is a tale of private success & public failure. Prosperity is indeed spreading across the country even as governance failure pervades public life. But how could a nation become one of the worlds fastest-growing economies when its governed by a weak ineffective state? & wouldnt it be wonderful if India also grew during the day-in other words if public policy supported private enterprise? What India needs Gurcharan Das argues is a strong liberal state. Such a state would have the authority to take quick decisive action; it would have the rule of law to ensure those actions are legitimate; & finally it would be accountable to the people. However India has always had a weak state & a strong society says Das which means that achieving something better will be an uphill struggle. ...
