• Description :
  The remarkable men and women from various generations, regions, and fields of endeavour have dedicated 75 years of effort to create the India we see today. Iconic Indians: 75 Extraordinary People Who Inspired the Nation honours 75 Indians who made a significant contribution to the transformation of a destitute former colony into a self-assured and quickly expanding nation. Selected from a variety of disciplines, including politics, sports, the arts, defence, business, entertainment, science, and the environment, this anthology of essays explores the life stories of these remarkable people, covering not only their achievements but also their setbacks, self-doubt, and even arguments with one another. Many of them are well-known, but a few are exceptional individuals who made significant contributions in their day but are no longer remembered by the general public. The book concurrently narrates the larger story of India's journey through the first 75 years of independence through these stories. For anyone interested in the history, culture, and prospects of India, this book is a must-read. It provides an excellent overview of the leaders who have shaped the country into what it is today.
