Do you know which kingdom wanted to join Pakistan and not India? Or do you know which Nawab preferred his dogs more than his subjects? Or do you know another foreign power had control of Indian territories even after 1947?
The Birth of My Nation is an enchanting book that narrates the tale of India and her past, her grand civilizations, glorious empires, her dreadful times under a cruel power, her awakening to freedom and ends with her becoming the greatest democracy today.
Read the fascinating story of the Union of India, the birth and history of each of her 28 states and 8 union territories.
Know your India like never before!
