Features: This book is a modern history of India, discussing the history of India from its independence to the 20th century. After independence, India actively strengthened national and social integration while striving to advance modernization in various fields and vigorously shaped its international image. After more than fifty years of effort, the country has undergone tremendous changes, achieving significant progress in politics, economy, society, culture, science, and education. As a major country in Asia, it is not only rising but also seeking to become a world power. This book attempts to use the methodology of the law of contradictions and dialectics, focusing on the main thread of the policy and basic measures of each successive Indian government, to analyze how different ruling parties gradually deepened their understanding of the national conditions and world situation, and how they step by step ensured that their governance could well shape the national conditions and public sentiment while also adapting to world trends and development needs. The national conditions of India are extremely complex, with different parties holding different views and proposals on how to achieve modernization. This book, based on historical facts, provides an analysis and comparison of these different proposals. Indian politics is a multi-party competitive politics, with different parties seeking to implement their proposals through governance. The intense competition between parties has brought both positive and negative impacts on the operation of democratic politics, economic development, and social progress, which is also a key issue that this book pays more attention to and discusses in greater detail.
