Description
The New India: A Nation on the Precipice of Change Rahul Bhatia's groundbreaking book offers a gripping account of the struggle between modern forces and ancient ideas in post-colonial India. Through six years of meticulous research and on-the-ground reporting, Bhatia reveals the intricate connections between India's history, politics, and society, shedding light on the ways in which the country's trajectory has been shaped by complex forces. From the Delhi riots of 2020 to the emergence of Hindu nationalism, Bhatia examines the ways in which history continues to play a significant role in the present, influencing notions of justice, corruption, and citizenship. This monumental work of narrative reportage illuminates the rise of Narendra Modi and the profound impact of a supremacist ideology on Indian society, forcing readers to re-examine their understanding of their neighbours and themselves. With hundreds of interviews, letters, diary entries, and other sources, Bhatia builds a vivid and authoritative narrative that is both fascinating and thought-provoking.
