A Note on Place Names
In recent years, the names of several towns and cities in India have been modified or changed – thus Bombay has become Mumbai, Madras has become Chennai and Calcutta has become Kolkata. Likewise, the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, was formuch of the period covered by this book known as Dacca, while the Chinese capital, Beijing, was until the 1980s referred to as Peking. The usage in this book conforms to historical convention rather than linguistic precision. For example, the capital of Maharashtra is referred to as Bombay until we come to the time when its name was officially changed to Mumbai.
Praise for INDIA AFTER GANDHI
‘Finally, here is a history of democratic India that is every bit as sweeping as the country itself . . . [A] magisterial work’
EDWARD LUCE, Financial Times
‘A formidable undertaking . . . As comprehensive, balanced and elegantly crafted as any reasonable reader could expect’
PHILIP ZIEGLER, Spectator
‘[A] dazzling book’
London Review of Books
‘Guha is a scholar of astounding energy and ingenuity, and his book triumphantly dismisses an often-made plea: that India’s contemporary history cannot be written because (as a result of government pigheadedness) the sources are not available. He seems to have visited every archive from Alabama to Allahabad, Calcutta to California, delving into a sea of private correspondence, news reports, pamphlet ephemera, as well as state papers. The result is a fascinating, kaleidoscopic narrative’
