Nehru: The Invention of India focusses in depth on the modernist legacy that Nehru brings to the Indian context, which, the author argues, is sometimes subsumed by our rise to deify Gandhi's politics and ideals. In trying to industrialize India and push for greater economic development by way of 5 year plans, Tharoor maintains that Nehru has indelibly marked our democratic legacy. This book is not just an important historical and national tract on the growth and development of modern India. It can also be read as a testament to Nehru's own principles, ideals, policies and personal life story as it ran parallel with the development of India.
