Description
|
|
|
|
This striking photographic history of India, with images up to 23 inches across, begins with shattered buildings and decaying bodies in the aftermath of the 1858 rebellion in Lucknow and concludes more than 400 pages later with 21st-century sports stars, gallery artworks, technology offices, rocket scientists, auto workers, and the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, built for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. In between are remarkable scenes of the vast subcontinent progressing from colony to independent state to fractured rival countries after the Partition, among them a 1972 image of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi shaking hands with Pakistani president Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, while his daughter Benazir looks on.
