Ambassador Rana has delved deep into the archives to put a spotlight on Winston' Churchill's enduring contempt and denigration of India and its people. More than that, the multiple wounds he inflicted on this country through his years as one of Britain's most influential political figures are exposed in all their searing hurt. More importantly, the author traces the often invisible lines of history that link many of our current adversities to the racist prejudices and bigotry of this acclaimed sentinel of the British Empire. This is historical scholarship at its best. Ambassador Shyam Saran, former Indian Foreign Secretary More has been written about Winston Churchill than almost any other modern historic figure, but comparatively little has focused on his controversial and lifelong relationship with India, and even less has come from the pens of Indian writers. Drawing on his own career in politics and diplomacy, Kishan Rana is well placed to offer a different, new and important perspective.
