It describes the human situation in India after Independence. The author resorts to the historical method, and surprisingly encounters not staticity, but a continuing dynamic and even explosive process within which history and geography have worked to create dissimilar communities and endless conflicts. In the process of research he works exhaustively with Indian ethnic communities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe account has the kaleidoscopic quality of a motion picture, liking all historic events from Aryan migration upto Nehru’s death in a coherent, thought shifting perspective, which also reveals that the grip of established tradition on all communities has not relaxed. Yet, the highlight of this book is undoubtedly the author’s imaginative interpretation of the Hindu personality based on original sources. Chaudhuri’s language is forceful and expressive, and his arguments are well defined and lucid. The Heart of India is without doubt, one of this controversial author’s most compelling and authoritative works - a landmark in Indian history.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Nirad Chaudhuri has been, throughout his long life, an erudite contrary, and mischievious presence.”\u003cbr\u003e-\tSalman Rushdie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe World’s Knowledge of India Since 1947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER ONE\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Word to the Eye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER TWO\u003cbr\u003eThe Desposits of Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER THREE\u003cbr\u003eThe Children of Circe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER FOUR\u003cbr\u003eOn Understanding the Hindus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER FIVE\u003cbr\u003eJanus and his Two Faces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER SIX\u003cbr\u003eThe Victims of Circe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER SEVEN\u003cbr\u003eNostalgia for the Forgotten Home\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER EIGHT\u003cbr\u003eAuld Lang Syne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER NINE\u003cbr\u003eThe Defiance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER TEN\u003cbr\u003eThe Anodyne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER ELEVEN\u003cbr\u003eThe Hindu Acedia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER TWELVE\u003cbr\u003eThe Least of the Minorities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER THIRTEEN\u003cbr\u003eThe Half-Caste Minorities – Genetic and Cultural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER FOURTEEN\u003cbr\u003eThe Dominant Minority\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix I Anglicized Hindu Manners\u003cbr\u003eAppendix II Coercive Power of Hindu Traditions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCirce’s Triumph\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Nirad C Chaudhuri \/ Jaico \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153773818224,"sku":"26865","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/26865.jpg?v=1793913938","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-heart-of-india","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
