Fearless in Opposition - P. Chidambaram (2017)

The book is a collection of author's articles in Indian Express. There are many views that'll be central to opposition views and many points are specific to author's viewpoint. But still I think his views are coherently put through. There is no interruption while reading the book  unlike your possibility of getting distracted online or social media. With news media blurring points of discussions it's important to understand the other side of the political movement today. The book was written when there are dynamism in the events. The events may have moved on. The outcomes may not match to the predictions. But a good read to understand India's current political and economic battles.

The book is very current topics oriented and will not have a shelf life may be a year down the line.

An Era of Darkness: Shashi Tharoor

Pretty aptly named book. It puts forth in apt details why British period in Indian history is a real dark era. A very balanced treatment. The issues and concerns that can be raised as potential benefits of the Raj are thoroughly reviewed and rebutted. A must read book for every indian.
