Post-Independence India

India gained independence from Great Britain in 1947 but the British provinces under the crown were partitioned into two dominions of India and Pakistan and all princely states acceded to either of the two dominions. After Independence a new era began. Pt. Nehru took the reins of the newly independent nation. Nehru era made a new history. Later came on scene Indira Gandhi. Her eventful period was followed by Janata Party rule and thus the story went on. There are a lot of books on Indian History already published and stacks in libraries are packed with them. But it is always felt that a seriously composed compact and not so lengthy book on the subject could always create a niche for itself. Hence this endeavour.
