	India`S Broken Tryst by Tavleen Singh
	Price : Rs 699.00
	Your Price : Rs 524.25

It was only after I became an adult that I began to ask questions about that famous "tryst". Why was the speech made in English? Was Nehru just a romantic or a real leader? And did he not know when he talked of the world being asleep at midnight that it was not midnight everywhere?`

Even sixty-seven years after it became a modern nation state, democratic India has been unable to meet the most basic needs of its people. A dangerous mix of colonialism, socialism and statism has brought about this situation. India`s people, both rich and poor, have been at the mercy of a political class whose motive for being in public life is power and pelf rather than public service.

From one of the country`s most experienced and respected journalists, India`s Broken Tryst is a bold analysis of why this state of affairs has come to pass - why has the Indian state failed to live up to the promise made `long years ago at the stroke of the midnight hour`?
