This question reflected the sentiments expressed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e by Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 in what was perhaps the last letter written by him. He wrote three\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e days before his assassination that the Congress in its current form had 'outlived its use' and should\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e be disbanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e What would Bharat of today be like had Mahatma Gandhi's call for disbandment of the Congress\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e been heeded? The book revisits some of the key events that shaped India's political history over the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e last 80 years-Partition, Kashmir, governance, scams, democracy and its interruptions, economic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e policy, intellectual colonization and foreign policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e India's modern-day history has been told to suit a particular political narrative. But it's imperative\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e that history be retold with fairness and accuracy in order to learn from the mistakes of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The current generation demands and deserves solutions to historical wrongs. Indians need to be presented with raw, unbiased, unfiltered, historically accurate information so that they can use their\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e own judgement and walk the path towards the new India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is the first-ever rethink of how different India would have been, if not for the Congress party\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e being at the helm for the most part of the last 80 years. More importantly, the book is also a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e roadmap to the India of tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Priyam Gandhi-Mody\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9357028935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789357028936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupa Publications India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Priyam Gandhi-Mody","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44761009127679,"sku":"9789357028936","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ec09dbf-2a8f-4e57-8728-970d170e4aa8.jpg?v=1706680114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-if-there-was-no-priyam-gandhi-mody-9789357028936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
