An anthology of nineteen analytical essays on the history of pre independent India, A Passage Through India is both riveting and revealing. Written in an eminently readable style, these narrative and interpretative pieces have at their root a mix of rigorous research spanning decades and insightful observations based on varied experiences in public life. The learned author examines the cultural-social-political-economic life of India in the two centuries leading up to 1947 and gives us a true account of the history of that era. To cut through the dangerous web of lies and deceit woven by the spin doctors of mainstream discourse, a work such as this serves as an invaluable rapier.
These episodic essays on some turning-points in recent times, originally written in Kannada, have been ably translated into lucid English by Prof. Vedavyas M G and Paresh Nadig, with the fervent hope that they attain a wider readership, particularly among the youth of India.” DRIVE
