Partial towards Nehru-Gandhi family
This books is a definite must read for all those want to know India. Although not humanly possible to include every bit, the effort made by the writer is clearly evident. Some points have been taken very casually.. like he said "Ram"s existence is not proved. Well i found it ironic that "Ram"Chandra Guha still believes Rama is a myth despite so many scientific evidences provided. Chandrasekhar was mentioned as a lameduck prime minister, but his efforts to secure loans by pledging India's Gold to England has not been mentioned or probably ignored.He along with Subramanian Swamy made the blueprints for the economic reforms is missed out. Indian diplomacy to Historic reopening on the manasarovar pilgrimage for Indians was ignored.
Emphasis was laid more on Nehru and his blood successors and author was clearly very partial to them as if this is a Congress sponsored history
