What really happened in the twenty-one days leading up to India’s Independence?
In this episode of The Reading List, Josy Joseph takes us into the world of his new book, Birth of a Nation, where the future of India was still being negotiated and contested. We explore the complicated world of the princely states and the many political forces trying to influence their decisions.
But this is also a story about the people who worked to bring the Republic into being, many of whom have since faded from our collective memory. We talk about why these forgotten stories matter, and what they can still teach us about the country we live in today.
