The essence of the book

The book showcases New India’s march to glory leaving behind the unfortunate and painful memories of foreign subjugation spanning several centuries. The author has penned down the historical events and the transformations in the Indo-UK relations since independence, not with a view to reopen the wounds of colonial rule but to enlighten the present generations, particularly the large Indian Diaspora, with what India had to undergo prior to independence in 1947 and how it has excelled in various sectors to become world’s fifth largest economy and earned a pride of place in the comity of nations.
