Summary: I am a person of moderate views0, writes Ramachandra Guha, 0these sometimes expressed in extreme fashion0. In this wide-ranging and wonderfully readable collection of essays, Guha defends the liberal centre against the dogmas of left and right, and does so with style, depth, and polemical verve. The book begins with a brilliant overview of the major threats to the Indian Republic. Other essays turn a critical eye on Hindutva, the Communist left, and the dynasty-obsessed Congress party. Guha then explores the contemporary relevance of Gandhi0s religious pluralism, and analyzes the fall in Jawaharlal Nehru0s reputation after his death.
