India Was Not Alone In Its Fight Against British Imperialism And Colonialism. Far From It, Hitler'S Germany Was Always At Hand To Extend Moral And Material Support. It Is Agreed That The Official Policy Of The Administration Followed A Roller-Coaster Track In Support Of India, There Is No Denying The Fact That The American Congress, Public And The Media, Print As Well As Electronic, Went Out Of Its Way To Render Political, Moral And Financial Support. The Book Covers The American Aspect Fairly Comprehensively, It Follows Two Extremes: It Is Either Excessively Pro-American And The American Support Is Eulogized To No End, Or It Goes In The Opposite Directions In As Much As It Runs Down The Positive Facet Of American Contribution Besides Imputing Derogatory Motives In Some Cases. And Both Sides Lack In Integrating The Indian Political Point Of View And Events, And Their Impact On The International Scene. The Chinese Moral And Political Support For The Cause Of Indian Freedom Was Most Valuable, And Often Came At Crucial Points Of Time. And That Holds Good For The Japanese, Burmese, French, German And The Soviet Union Too.

India 70 Years after Midnight deals with a pragmatic and realist approach of the subcontinent's ancient and present history to the decades since India's independence in 1947. This book deals with the Judiciary system of India. Every successful nation has enlightened laws that are rigorously enforced. In the case of India her fair laws have been sufficient for her leaders to push the blue pill upon the world of a thriving Democracy with little support of the lack of enforcing these laws. India 70 Years After Midnight deals with the Sepoy Rebellion, which by its defeat, the British Empire was born and its incorrect "blue pill" narrative, leading to the belief that this rebellion constituted India's first Independence movement. (to be "blue pilled" = Falsehood, for the sake of a sense of security and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill) . Through the various movements for independence from Britain of established ethnic groups desiring their own homeland, independent of India, to the semi-independent kingdoms within India seeking their own destiny, is presented as the ongoing aspects of India. Outside of New Delhi's policies, the social aspects that defines modern day India including the caste system, the abrogation of the Maharajas, to the rise of unfettered corruption across India are presented. From the rise of Maoism to militant Hindu nationalism as extreme reactionary forces attempting to address a set of problems and why they have failed. India 70 Years After Midnight is a short study of a multi-faith, multi-ethnic, multi-language, nation of a billion three hundred million citizens who are destined to become the most populous nation by 2050 and why this Union has failed. The achievements India are prodigious and her media has capitalized on them to showcase to the world of a successful Democracy. What strikes many is the staggering contrast of a nation who proudly claims to have a space program, a nuclear program, a leader in the information sector, and a vibrant middle class, while teeming millions do not have access to some of the basics of modern life. The numbers are so massive India leads the world in several indicators of a third world nation.

The International Bestseller 'Barney White-Spunner's book stands out for its judicious and unsparing look at events from a British perspective.' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times Review 'This book is at its most powerful in its month-by-month narrative of how Partition tore apart northern and eastern India, with the new state of Pakistan carved out of communities who had lived together for the past millennium.' Zareer Masani BBC History Magazine 'A highly readable account . . .' Times Literary Review Between January and August 1947 the conflicting political, religious and social tensions in India culminated in independence from Britain and the creation of Pakistan. Those months saw the end of ninety years of the British Raj, and the effective power of the Maharajahs, as the Congress Party established itself commanding a democratic government in Delhi. They also witnessed the rushed creation of Pakistan as a country in two halves whose capitals were two thousand kilometers apart. From September to December 1947 the euphoria surrounding the realization of the dream of independence dissipated into shame and incrimination; nearly 1 million people died and countless more lost their homes and their livelihoods as partition was realized. The events of those months would dictate the history of South Asia for the next seventy years, leading to three wars, countless acts of terrorism, polarization around the Cold War powers and to two nations with millions living in poverty spending disproportionate amounts on their military. The roots of much of the violence in the region today, and worldwide, are in the decisions taken that year. Not only were those decisions controversial but the people who made them were themselves to become some of the most enduring characters of the twentieth century. Gandhi and Nehru enjoyed almost saint like status in India, and still do, whilst Jinnah is lionized in Pakistan. The British cast, from Churchill to Attlee and Mountbatten, find their contribution praised and damned in equal measure. Yet it is not only the national players whose stories fascinate. Many of those ordinary people who witnessed the events of that year are still alive. Although most were, predictably, only children, there are still some in their late eighties and nineties who have a clear recollection of the excitement and the horror. Illustrating the story of 1947 with their experiences and what independence and partition meant to the farmers of the Punjab, those living in Lahore and Calcutta, or what it felt like to be a soldier in a divided and largely passive army, makes the story real. Partition will bring to life this terrible era for the Indian Sub Continent.
Alibis of Empire presents a novel account of the origins, substance, and afterlife of late imperial ideology. Karuna Mantena challenges the idea that Victorian empire was primarily legitimated by liberal notions of progress and civilization. In fact, as the British Empire gained its farthest reach, its ideology was being dramatically transformed by a self-conscious rejection of the liberal model. The collapse of liberal imperialism enabled a new culturalism that stressed the dangers and difficulties of trying to "civilize" native peoples. And, hand in hand with this shift in thinking was a shift in practice toward models of indirect rule. As Mantena shows, the work of Victorian legal scholar Henry Maine was at the center of these momentous changes. Alibis of Empire examines how Maine's sociotheoretic model of "traditional" society laid the groundwork for the culturalist logic of late empire. In charting the movement from liberal idealism, through culturalist explanation, to retroactive alibi within nineteenth-century British imperial ideology, Alibis of Empire unearths a striking and pervasive dynamic of modern empire.
Mihir Bose was born in January 1947. Eight months later, India became a modern, free nation. The country he knew growing up in the 1960s has undergone vast and radical change. India today exports food, sends space probes to Mars, and, all too often, Indian businesses rescue their ailing competitors in the West. In From Midnight to Glorious Morning?, Bose travels the length and breadth of India to explore how a country that many doubted would survive has been transformed into one capable of rivaling China as the world’s preeminent economic superpower. Multifarious challenges still continue to plague the country: although inequality and corruption are issues not unique to India, such a rapid ascent to global prominence creates a precarious position. However, as Bose outlines, this rapid ascent provides evidence that India is ever capable of making great strides in the face of great adversity. Bose’s penetrating analysis of the last seventy years asks what is yet to be done for India in order to fulfill the destiny with which it has been imbued. The predictions of doom in August 1947 have proved to be unfounded; the growth of the nation in population and capital has been exponential, and there is much to celebrate. But Bose’s nuanced, personal, and trenchant book shows that it is naïve to pretend the hoped-for bright morning has yet dawned.
