The speeches that changed the political tide; which are unforgettable for their eloquence; those which marked a seminal moment in India’s history: Here is Subhas Chandra Bose rousing his jawans, Jinnah’s opening speech for the Pakistani parliament, Nehru envisioning the temples of the future, a young Vajpayee espousing the cause of Tibet. And here also is the speech that heralded the Emergency, Manmohan Singh’s plea for economic reform, and Amartya Sen discussing Satyajit Ray. Together they tell the story of modern India – from her move to independence to the battles thereafter. Inspiring and instructive, The Great Speeches of Modern India will give you a front row view of India’s history as it happened from the men and women who made it.
