3) India After Gandhi by Ramachandra Guha:

India After Gandhi is an essential read, simply because our school never bothered to teach us about the history of India. The History of the world's largest democracy is a non-fiction book. The book covers the history of India after it gained independence from the British in 1947. In this book, every detail is perfectly balanced. If you are writing a book on a country's history it is very difficult to maintain balance in every geographical area of the country.

We recommend those who are interested in the political history of our country after Gandhi should definitely read this once. It is well researched and consolidated book that covers events post-independence India. Ramachandra Guha is also a columnist for Hindustan Times, The Telegraph, and Hindi newspaper Amar Ujala.

He decided a goal with his team to improve government schools of Delhi to such an extent that parents would choose government schools over private schools to send their kids. Few decisions he has taken so far to improve the system. The allotment of 25% of an annual budget for education.

Principals have given more power and money to improve the standard. Estate managers were hired for every school to supervise cleanliness and repairs in consultation with the principal. Training of teachers and principals at national and international institutes to develop the professional approach and to understand the international education system. Improvement in the school infrastructure that children should feel confident about school.
