From Nehru announcing India`s tryst with destiny, to his granddaughter-in-law Sonia Gandhi renouncing prime-ministership, a sparkling collection of speeches to mark the 60th anniversary of Indian independence.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 damning Gandhi, Jinnah`s opening speech for the Pakistani parliament, Nehru advocating divorce, 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.
