The Indian dimension: Politics of continental development
This collection of articles and lectures covers a remarkable range of subjects. Together, they help towards an understanding of the bewildering complexity of India’s continental policy. Romesh Thapar, one of India’s most distinguished commentators, is editor of Seminar, the seventeen-year-old prestigious monthly symposium, and has been engaged in many spheres of activity, particularly in India’s political and economic challenges.
In articles written for Seminar, in papers read at UNESCO roundtables and at the National Defence College, and through interventions in other specialised national committees, he has done considerable thinking on Gandhi, Nehru, intellectual conformism, the press, the elections, India’s relations with the world and the need for a “mass line.”
All this rigorous probing is linked to one basic question: what have been the compulsions in the last twenty-five years of India's history and what direction does the subcontinent have to take to enable some 600–800 million people live a life of dignity? This question is ever present in Romesh Thapar’s analyses. It is a sensitive and valuable book which will open fresh perspectives on modern India.
