Publisher's Synopsis
India's Silent Revolution by Fred B. Fisher is a comprehensive account of India's transformation from a colonial state to an independent democratic nation. The book traces the history of India from the time of British colonization to the present day, highlighting the key events and personalities that shaped the country's political, economic, and social landscape.Fisher argues that India's transformation has been a silent revolution, driven by the efforts of ordinary people rather than by a single charismatic leader. He explores how India's diverse population has shaped the country's political system, and how the country's economy has evolved from a largely agrarian base to a modern, industrialized economy.The book also delves into India's social and cultural changes, including the rise of the middle class, the empowerment of women, and the impact of globalization on Indian society. Fisher provides a nuanced analysis of India's complex identity, examining the tensions between its traditional values and modern aspirations.Overall, India's Silent Revolution offers a rich and insightful portrait of India's journey from colonialism to independence, and provides a valuable perspective on the country's ongoing transformation in the twenty-first century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
