This novel is about the success and failure of the first Prime Minister of India. It deals with the predicaments of the early years of Indian Independence and concerns itself with the moral and political problems of the era.

Why did he reinterpret India’s medieval history to highlight peaceful coexistence between Hindus and Muslims? Have ...
