Mandate: Will of the People

A concise but gripping retelling of India's political history told with a first-hand perspective and anecdotes. I'm woefully ignorant of our post-independence history and this serves as a fantastic primer for anyone wanting to both, wet their feet in the waters and get a brief understanding of what forms our governance. Of why we are where we are now and get a sense of where we would go from here. It's fascinating to see our leaders, past and present, as just humans. Flawed, emotional humans and how their whims affect us massively. After reading this, I'm probably ready to tackle the subject in depth. I hope Vir Sanghvi updates this with the Modi years included.
