Anticipating India by Shekhar Gupta
5.0
THE best book that I've read in Indian politics so far. This book, as the author mentions, is not a narrative of Indian politics, but a collection of articles. The best part of that is that you can understand the mood and the feel of the situation. The situation that the author describes comes alive out of the pages of the book. Be it the Anna Hazare movement or the UPA 2 time. The analysis of the author gives the feel of the popular mood at the time.
When you combine this narrative with our hindsight we get a clear picture of how things were. I would say that any book which is written would have a bit of prejudice from the author's ideological inclinations. This can be seen in any book and this can be seen here as well. But here as the author is giving a love narration rather than writing from hindsight the situation becomes bare for us to understand.
A brilliant book.
