February 3, 2024

Priyam Gandhi-Mody released her latest book “What If There Was No Congress: The Uncensored History of Independent India”
The book, published by Rupa, revisits some of the key events that shaped India’s political history over the last 80 years – Partition, Kashmir, governance, scams, democracy and its interruptions, economic policy, intellectual colonisation and foreign policy – and also seeks to provide a roadmap to the India of tomorrow.
The author says the Congress had “played a crucial role in the Indian freedom struggle; however, its leadership also made some missteps that resulted in the Balkanization of undivided India”.
