    Patrick French's wonderfully readable biography of a country that has been reborn in recent times, India: A Portrait is a meticulously researched guide to the modern face of this vast country. With over 1.2 billion inhabitants to account for, the author sets about drawing together the personal stories and accounts that illustrate the wider picture and built the Asian nation. Recounted with great passion and enthusiasm, but told with a scholarly edge, this incredible hardback charts the manner in which India has grown from 'spiritual' to 'hi-tech' in seemingly no time at all.

    The independence of India and the creation of Pakistan was a time of accelerated history, when each arbitrary decision had a huge and lasting effect. India is again passing through a period of critical change, although of a more beneficial and optimistic kind.
