Ramachandra Guha’s India after Gandhi is a magisterial account of the pains, struggles, humiliations and glories of the world’s largest and least likely democracy. A riveting chronicle of the often brutal conflicts that have rocked a giant nation, and of the extraordinary individuals and institutions who held it together, it established itself as a classic when it was first published in 2007. In the last decade, India has witnessed, among other things, two general elections; the fall of the Congress and the rise of Narendra Modi; a major anti-corruption movement; more violence against women, Dalits, and religious minorities; a wave of prosperity for some but the persistence of poverty for others; comparative peace in Nagaland but greater discontent in Kashmir than ever before. This tenth anniversary edition, updated and expanded, brings the narrative up to the present. Published to coincide with seventy years of the country’s independence, this definitive history of modern India is the work of one of the world’s finest scholars at the height of his powers.

The book is written on the basis of historical background imbibing the facts of the final phase of India's liberation movement, valorous deeds of the teenaged Indian sailors in the uprising and has unearthed many notable events of the contemporary period. A condensed account of the entire episode written in a manner to throw light to the hidden glory of Indians struggling for freedom. RIN MUTINY: 1946 is laudable to all freedom loving people. It contains not only the most authentic version of a leading participant in the Mutiny but also those who were associated with him in the Strike Committee. The book has also covered International and National press reports, participating warships and naval establishments all over the country. Reviews ``The book is certainly a very good attempt for an authentic portrayal of hitherto unpopular but sensitive event of Indian history. There is sufficient material for the students of history and inquisitive readers as well as research scholars''. Dr B. C. Kalita, Review Projector (India), Vol. 9, No. 7–9. The author of this book was a participant in the historic uprising of the courageous sailors who wrote a glorious chapter in the history of our freedom movement. This reviewer congratulates the author for the painstaking work that he took in making his own contribution and bringing together other valuable material. E.M.S. Namboodiripad, People’s Democracy, June 25, 1989. ``The book under review is a noble attempt to draw attention of both historians and the patriotic people to the immortal heroes within the military personnel who fought and died during India's struggle for freedom. Biswanath Bose's work has done a remarkable job by vividly presenting the history of a glorious battle which our official historians ignore wilfully to shield our national heroes, somewhat unjustifiably''. P.N. Dhar, The Quarterly Review of Historical Studies, Vol. XXIX (4), pp. 59–62
