India from Curzon to Nehru and After

Durga Das, a journalist who knew many of the leading figures of his time, recounts the history of India from the viceroyalty of Lord Curzon through the independence movement to the early years of independence under Nehru.

Written from close observation, the book is full of personal recollections of leaders, British and Indian, and it remains a valuable eyewitness account of a transformative half century.
