FEARLESS IN OPPOSITION

What is the BJP’s definition
of nationalism? Why did the UPA government follow a policy of ‘strategic
restraint’? Why is Mgnrega an important instrument in the larger context of
India’s transformation? How has the ‘surgical strike’ on currency resulted in
difficulties for millions of people? These contentious questions are just a
few of the myriad political, strategic and economic issues that former Union
Minister P. Chidambaram analyses in his latest book.Written in inimitable
style and characteristic wit by one of India’s most influential political
commentators, this book brings together a selection of the finest and most
incisive essays published as a weekly column in the Indian EXPRESS in 2016.
This is as much a showcase of P. Chidambaram’s impeccable writing as it is a
thought-provoking commentary on the state of the nation.
