About this listen
The first decade after India's independence, 1947-1957, was probably the most crucial in the nation's history. Opening a window to this period, this book weaves a story out of the complex ideas and events that have largely remained beneath the surface of public discourse. The transfer of power, the framing of the Constitution and the formation of the governance machinery; the clash of ideas and ideologies among parties and personalities; the beginning of the disintegration of the Congress and the consolidation of political forces in the opposition; Nehru's grappling with existential problems at home and his quest for global peace; the interplay between democratic ideals and ruthless power play—all these factors impinged on each other and shaped the new republic in its formative decade. Thought-provoking, argumentative and thoroughly enjoyable, 1947-1957, India: The Birth of a Republic is a must-listen for anyone interested in Indian political history.

Poor Naration, dropped the title would read it rather
Would read it rather than listen to it. The narration is strange, mimicing voices which are sometimes downright offensive to different ethnicities, trying accents that are vague vs. just doing a proper reading this is a poor attempt at performance.
Book and it's content are great so definitely buy the title and read it. Half way through the audiobook though gave up on the comedy narration
