Explore the compelling essays of Ramachandra Guha in ‘Patriots and Partisans (PB)’. This insightful collection champions the liberal centre, critically examining the dogmas of both the left and right political spectrums with remarkable style and intellectual depth.

As India’s most admired historian and public intellectual, Guha’s masterful prose dissects political landscapes, profiles influential figures, and analyzes evolving social trends. Published by Penguin India, this book is a must-read for those seeking a profound understanding of modern India and its political discourse.
