After two centuries of being a colony, India would finally become an independent nation on 15 August 1947. The princely states were given three choices: accede to India, join Pakistan or remain free. In a gripping account, highlighting the key events and personalities of the time, Mallika Ravikumar in a thoroughly researched book titled ‘565: The Dramatic Story of Unifying India’ introduces readers to the dramatic saga of how a great nation was forged. The author adds a unique human and emotional angle to make history relatable and encourage everyone to seek more information and answers.
The Nehru Centre Library is pleased to invite you to a talk and presentation on the book in which the author gives a vivid account of the accession of princely states like Travancore, Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, Bikaner and others. Some praise for the book by eminent writers is attached for reference.
