ASIAN / MIDDLE EASTERN HISTORY: FROM C 1900 -. India is the world's largest democratic country, with a population of 1.2 billion, and predicted to overtake China in the next 4 decades. It is also the globe's 4th largest economy. India in the twenty-first century stands on the verge of being one of the world's newest superpowers. In the sixty years since its independence, it has transformed into a modern nation with limitless resources - yet it is also a nation of extremes. This guide is the perfect introduction for the reader who wants to know more than the guide books and gain a deeper understanding of India's history and culture. "The Britannica Guide to India" is introduced by Maria Misra. She is a Lecturer in Modern History at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Keble College specialising in the politics, culture, and economics.
