Something chomsky said in 1990s but still holds true!

Politics and governance!

We are a country of forgetters

This is really a book worth every penny and second. A book that encompasses first 50 years of republic of India is truly amazing. Author takes us on a Rollercoaster ride of democracy in India. What impressed me more than anything is the way writer has tried to stay neutral and not add his impressions. Grand scheme of things in Indian politics since 1947 and a book that deserves a place in every Indian's bookshelf
