As for the author’s intention in writing this contemporary history of Indian people, it resembles to that of Gorkey of pre-revolution Russia. Through his autobiographical novels, he expressed the grass-roots features of an age of a great transformation. From a feudalistic society the people of Russia were heading towards a new social system, the so called communist or socialist society. Though after disintegration of the USSR, the fervour of the great upsurge is subsided to a great extent within a century, the transition has played its historical role. This book attempts to cover the transition of Indian society from 1948 onwards in this second volume. According to the author the Indian transition of society has a cause and effect relationship with a Spiritual Revolution. 1926 is a water shade year. 1948 is significant with a new era. The author provides a case study on micro-level and a cross-section on macro-level social transformation. This is altogether a new historiographical approach. Teachers and students of history as well as research people in sociology would find it enlightening and useful. For the general reader it is fascinating almost as a novel.
