Description
Incarnations: A History of India in 50 Lives brings to life the rich and varied past of one of the world's largest democracies. Sunil Khilnani explores the lives of 50 Indians, from spiritualist Buddha to capitalist Dhirubhai Ambani, shedding light on the human dimension of India's history.
Through his portraits of emperors, warriors, philosophers, poets, and corporate titans, Khilnani uncovers the continued relevance of the men and women who have shaped India. From ancient times to our own, he examines the social dilemmas that have defined the country, revealing surprising connections between past and present.
This deeply researched book is accompanied by a major BBC Radio 4 series, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in Indian history and culture. With its stunning illustrations and engaging narrative, Incarnations will inform, move, and entertain readers.
