India: a land that witnessed the dawn of civilization, the only pre-Bronze Age culture that is still alive. It has been celebrated and attacked, admired and vilified. But across millennia, through many great upheavals in history, it has stood strong. Now, after a few centuries of decline, it is driving a new dawn once again. Ajanaabhavarsh. Bharat. Hindustan. India. The names may be varied, but the soul of this great land remains immortal. In this expanded edition of his much-acclaimed book Immortal India: Young Country, Timeless Civilization, Amish helps you appreciate India like never before through a fresh series of sharp articles, nuanced speeches and intelligent debates. With his deep understanding of a range of subjects, from religion, mythology and tradition to history, contemporary societal norms, governance and ethics, Amish provides insight into the vast landscape of an ancient culture with a fascinatingly modern outlook.
