Soft cover. Zustand: New. A memoir of learning, involvements, and teachingLeonard Gordon tracks his connection to India beginning in the 1960s as he became an outsider/ insider in its society visiting often over six decades. His entry into the study of nationalism and imperialism was rooted in his coming of age in a left-wing family in New York and his family's friendship with a pioneer of South Asians in the U.S., Kumar Goshal.In India he formed friendships with many notables depicted vividly here including P. Lal, Jamini Roy, Sunil Das, Satyajit Ray, Nikhil Chakravartty, Nirad C. Chaudhuri, Krishna and Sisir Bose. When he had to fight to obtain an Indian research visa in 1972, his friends helped him reverse the government's decision denying him entry. Starting from a study of nationalism in Bengal and the relation of Bengalis to Gandhi, he focused in on Subhas and Sarat Bose, writing Brothers against the Raj. Carrying out research in 14 countries, he brought their worlds to life. In this captivating memoir, Gordon shares a deeply personal journey through the landscapes of two vibrant nations India and America. Navigating through anecdotes, letters, and articles, the Gordon offers an intimate glimpse into the cultural, social, and political nuances that have shaped their life and work. With profound insights and a deep emotional connection, this memoir captures the essence of the author's involvement in both countries, revealing a life dedicated to understanding and bridging the complexities of East and West. This is a reflective, engaging narrative that resonates with curiosity and wisdom.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Subhas Chandra Bose and his elder brother Sarat were among the most important leaders of the Indian struggle for independence from the British and were active from the 1920s through the 1940s. Brothers Against the Raj is the definitive biography of the Boses, placing them in the context of the Indian freedom struggle and international politics of the period. Leonard A. Gordon uses materials gathered in Europe and Asia from archives, records, and 150 interviews he conducted with the brothers´ political contemporaries and family members. The author makes use of hundreds of unpublished letters and other previously untapped sources as well. Brothers Against the Raj brings these two controversial leaders and a significant epoch in India´s history to renewed and explosive life.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The fame of people like Priyanka Chopra, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Kumail Nanjiani, Indra Nooyi, Mindy Kaling, M. Night Shyamalan, Tata Consultancy Services' (TCS) sponsorship of the New York City Marathon, the ubiquitousness of Indian restaurants and yoga studios in many American cities and much else illustrates the close relationship the US and India enjoy today. From the 1780s onwards, there have been relationships of various kinds, all mediated, until India's independence, through the British Raj. While ties in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were somewhat thin, the closer relationship through three-quarters of the twentieth century, has now become an extremely close one as India has sent large rivers of people and goods to America, and Americans have responded with growing interest and involvement in India. This, despite occasional blips like the Bhopal industrial disaster. Missions, Mantras, Migrants and Microchips takes the long view of the Indo-US encounter. Besides documenting well-known ties, it also brings into focus some ignored and forgotten people like Kumar Goshal, Ida Scudder, Charles Page Perin, John Bissell and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Deeply researched and engagingly written by veteran historian Leonard A. Gordon, this work is the definitive account of the Indo-US connection.
