The discussion in End of India revolves around the question of whether India and its secularism that it takes immense pride in, is coming to an inglorious end? Written by the widely loved author, Khushwant Singh, the book takes a deep and long look at corruption in the name of religion that is reeking in the country and that promises to destroy its peace and piety.
In End of India, the author has analyzed a number of black marks in recent Indian history including the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, the burning of Graham Staines and his children, the unprecedented communal violence that occurred in Gujarat in 2002 and the various targeted killings carried out by terrorists across India. In analyzing all these heart-wrenching incidents, Singh aims to show readers that severe corruption in the nation has actually made its people the most brutal in the world today.
According to Singh, although Indians have always been more tolerant of extreme ideologies, today Hindu fundamentalism has risen, found support from the government and is shaking the nation`s very foundations, foundations that were made by a peace-loving, secular democracy.
End of India cautions readers that unless Indians wake up and take more interest in their country`s future, the country will fall apart. It says that when that happens, the blame will not be on any external forces but on the people who lived in the country.
Hailed as a passionate work by a passionate writer, End of India was published by Penguin India in 2003 and is available in paperback.
