Foundations of Misery, Part-I : India, 1947-64
A must read if you are curious to figure out the mystery and the truth in-depth on why India remains a poor, pathetic, third-rate, third-world country of shabby and squalid urban spaces and impoverished villages—that are more like defacement of the environment and blots on the landscape, resembling a gigantic garbage bin. How's it that we got so left behind? What is it that we did, or did not do, after independence, that everything is so abysmal and pathetic. While many nations who were much behind us have long since become part of the first-world, an overwhelming majority of millions of Indians continue to be condemned to a life of unmitigated misery. What are the foundations of this misery?
Incidents, information and revelations that would shock you and make you exclaim: 'Oh God, was this so? I didn't know! How things have been kept under covers!!'

A book dedicated to Nehru bashing!.
The opening chapter on India's current status is good. The initial chpaters on Nehrus policy in Kashmir, Tibet and China are details.
Rest is pure Nehru bashing. Many of it are true and Many of the them are biased!
Poor editing of book. Many sentence will be repeated again and again.
