Bag om Inside India Today (Routledge Revivals)

Events in the Indian sub-continent during the 1970s, where, in the summer of 1975, the ruling party engineered a ΓÇÿconstitutionalΓÇÖ coup by declaring a national emergency, re-emphasised the need for a fuller understanding of IndiaΓÇÖs social system and people. First published the following year, in 1976, Inside India Today attempted to fulfil that need. Drawing on personal interviews, conducted during his two yearsΓÇÖ travels throughout the country collecting a mass of first hand evidence, and on various surveys and studies published in the press, the author sketches a broad portrait of Indian life in the villages and cities.
