In the 18th century, India's share of the world economy was as large as Europe's. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased sixfold.

In this bold and incisive reassessment of colonialism, Tharoor exposes to devastating effect the inglorious reality of Britain's stained Indian legacy.

He was the most unusual leader this country has seen, and one of the most influential personalities whose name is synonymous with India's independence. Through a vivid narrative, author Subhadra Sen Gupta recreates the life and legacy of this phenomenal leader to portray the man beneath the simple hand spun clothes, who ate salt-less vegetables and bitter neem chutney; who greeted kings and paupers alike; who walked 240 miles at the age of 60 to break the Salt Law; and whose entire life was dedicated to truth and to peace. Even today as we read inspirational accounts of Gandhiji s life and talk of Gandhigiri, we know that his ideals are alive and relevant to today s generation.
