Description

In sixty and more years as a free nation, the Republic of India has faced three major threats, writes Ramachandra Guha. These are right-wing Hindu fundamentalism, leftwing Maoist extremism, and seccessionist movements
seeking up the break-up of India. In recent years, to those three longstanding threats have been added three more: inequality, corruption, and environmental degradation.
Guha analyses each of these six threats in turn, explaining their origins and course, and suggesting ways in which they may be tamed or overcome.
