Описание: The twenty-first century has been dubbed the Asian Century. Highlighting diverse thinker-politicians rather than billionaire businessmen, Makers of Modern Asia presents eleven leaders who theorized and organized anticolonial movements, strategized and directed military campaigns, and designed and implemented political systems.
Born against a background of privation and civil war and divided along lines of caste, language, and religion, the nation of India still became a united and democratic country. The story of India before and after independence is a riveting one, and India after Gandhi explores the protests and conflicts that helped shape the nation politically, socially, and economically.
The complete story of its creation and its modern history has never been told before, and never as clearly, or as engagingly, as in Ramachandra Guha's remarkable India after Gandhi. Moving between history and biography, Guha writes of the factors that have kept the country together, and provides fresh insights into the lives of legendary Prime Ministers and leaders, as well as lesser known Indians-peasants, women, workers, and Untouchables. Ramachandra Guha was born in Dehradun in 1958, and educated in Delhi and Calcutta. He has taught at the universities of Oslo, Stanford and Yale, and at the Indian Institute of Science. He has been a Fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, and also served as the Indo-American Community Chair Visiting Professor at the University of California at Berkeley. Guha's books and essays have been translated into more than twenty languages. The prizes they have won include the U. K. Cricket Society's Literary Award and the Leopold-Hidy Prize of the American Society of Environmental History. "Guha has produced a superb, gloriously detailed book that is essential reading for anybody with a serious interest in modern India." -- The Independent

Описание: From the acclaimed author of India After Gandhi a group biography of seven remarkable men and women arrived in India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in order to join the freedom movement and struggle for a country and people other than their own. In Renegades, Ramachandra Guha gives us a vivid and little-known account of these seven foreigners who devoted themselves to the Indian freedom movement, understanding they would likely face prison for their actions, and possibly die for the cause. He shows us that what they were able to accomplish before and after their jail terms was pioneering work in a variety of fields. Annie Besant promoted the emancipation of women; B.G. Horniman published one of the most out-spoken, provocative newspapers in India; Samuel Stokes, an American Quaker, helped abolish forced labor; Mira Behn wrote pioneering environmental tracts; Philip Spratt fought for the rights of workers; R.R. Keithahn's found a rural university as well as a charitable hospital; Sarala Behn established a pioneering girls' school. Each renegade left a profound impact on the part of India in which they worked and their legacies have continued through the institutions they founded and the generations and individuals they inspired.

Описание: Opening in July 1914, as Mohandas Gandhi leaves South Africa to return to India, Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1918 traces the Mahatma's life over the three decades preceding his assassination. Drawing on new archival materials, acclaimed historian Ramachandra Guha follows Gandhi's struggle to deliver India from British rule, to forge harmonious relations between India's Hindus and Muslims, to end the pernicious practice of untouchability, and to nurture India's economic and moral self-reliance. He shows how in each of these campaigns, Gandhi adapted methods of nonviolence that successfully challenged British authority and would influence revolutionary movements throughout the world. A revelatory look at the complexity of Gandhi's thinking and motives, the book is a luminous portrait of not only the man himself, but also those closest to him--family, friends, and political and social leaders.
