The History of India, by John McLeod (read 17 Dec 2004) This is a volume in The Greenwood Histories of the Modern Nations, published in 2002. India before the 18th century is of little interest to me, but after that it is a history of much interest. But I was surprised at what a tumultuous time India has had in the last 50 years, especially Indira Gandhi's time when she was prime minister from 1966 to 1977 and from 1980 till she was assassinated in 1984--one almost thought that shooting her was the only way to rid India of her dictatorship. This is a straight-forward account and up-to-date and a good book to read. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Written for high school students and general readers who have little background on the world's largest democracy, this second edition of a popular work provides an objective overview of Indian history with a particular focus on the modern nation. Approximately half of the book deals with developments since the beginning of the 20th century, with new chapters covering events and issues that made news between 2002 and 2014. Readers can learn about the Bollywood craze, 21st-century economic growth, and concerns about the safety and equality of women today, as well as about such traditional topics as Buddhism and Hinduism, the Mughal Dynasty, and the British East India Company. Caste politics and the establishment of the Republic of India are covered, as is the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Completely revised and expanded, the second edition features fresh content throughout and includes photographs that were not in the earlier volume. The Notable Figures section, Appendix of Leaders, timeline, and glossary are also updated, and the bibliography now features electronic resources for students.
