| Summary/Abstract |
At the time of Independence, few believed that a country made up of British provinces and over 500 princely states could survive as a nation, even for a few years. That a land stripped of its riches, wracked by disease and famine, and divided along tense communal lines could thrive in its aspirations. Yet, in the 75 years since Independence, India has grown beyond anyone’s expectation.
How did India get this far? What were the sweeping social, political, scientific, technological, military, environmental and economic developments it witnessed along the way? Interspersed with personal anecdotes, illustrations, infographics, informative timelines and quotes, After Midnight revels in the diverse ideas that have come to shape India and offers a multifaceted context to the present. In many ways, this is one of the greatest underdog-beating-the-odds stories in world history, full of blood, sweat, tragedy and triumph.

Bhagat Singh sang gustily as he walked to the gallows. Backed by a courageous family, this twenty-three year old firebrand was wedded to death.Using disguise and guile, persuasion and force, his life was a roller-coaster ride through an unjust system. But eventually, he awakened India and the world to the idea of liberty and brought the mighty British Raj to its knees.

Was Chanakya a demon or a man? His opponents would plot and plan, coax and connive, but the scholar-turned-politician was always a step ahead, confounding both their motives and ambitions. He led his king Chandragupta, to greatness and set his kingdom on the road to peace and prosperity. Then, for generations of future rulers, he compiled a useful guide - the famously canny Arthashastra.

| Summary/Abstract |
If you ever thought history is boring, this funny and astonishing book is the perfect solution! Did you know that... One of India's greatest emperors was erased from all history books for nearly 1,500 years?; Beetles and beetle wings were a much sought-after fashion accessory once upon a time?; The iron pillar in Delhi's Qutub complex does not rust?; A French astronomer discovered the remains of a Roman port in South India?; A caravan of elephants and camels from India once paraded the frozen streets of St Petersburg, Russia? Dive into these and many more odd and wonderful facts from the pages of Indian history. You will find here the megacity of ancient India whose existence we know of today from the accounts of Chinese and Greek travellers; the architects who created whispering galleries; the cluster of houses in Rajasthan covered with vibrant frescoes; and the strange story of how tea came to India. Lovelorn princes who lost their kingdoms; intrepid botanists who studied and recorded every plant in the Malabar region; the poem written in praise of garlic--these are some of the nuggets that capture the peculiar, the fascinating and the eccentric bits of history the way no textbook ever will!
