Features: This book is a history of India's political, economic, and social development after independence, covering the period from the establishment of the Dominion government to the time when Jawaharlal Nehru took office as Prime Minister. The period of Jawaharlal Nehru's administration to the time of the Indian National Congress's rule is planned to be covered in a sister volume if possible in the future. The period covered in this book is when India established its direction, goals, systems, strategies, and basic policies, laying the track and starting the operation for future development. How did the Indian National Congress and Nehru shoulder this historical responsibility and what achievements and problems did they achieve? How did his successors, Shastri and Indira Gandhi, continue his work, and could they make the necessary adjustments to the blueprint designed by Nehru in response to changing circumstances? Were the adjustments appropriate? These are the main points this book aims to clarify. When narrating the party struggles, the book also evaluates the positive and negative roles played by different opposition parties at different times.
