{"product_id":"india-in-the-interim-rakesh-ankit-9781009525268","title":"India in the Interim","description":"This book looks at the governmental interregnum from August 1947 to the start of the first general election in October 1951, and is a narrative of some of its intermediate moments in light of contemporary politics. It is a multi-track chronicle, which draws attention to its discrete, if not determining, impact on the following decade of consolidation. While it is also a map of the prime minister's words and actions, drawn as it is mainly from his papers, it is embedded in the government. It describes a time of transitional governance in independent India's early political history and gives a glimpse of its multiple individual traits, identity tensions, and institutional trends. The Nehruvian gaze traced here shows what a constant flux governing in those unsettled post-partition years was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rakesh Ankit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009525263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009525268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Rakesh Ankit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46906639352063,"sku":"9781009525268","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31c4a11e-3200-4f5f-8643-4c2cfef69a0f.jpg?v=1748770981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/india-in-the-interim-rakesh-ankit-9781009525268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
