Analytical Insight · Arijit Paul Every chapter closes with the author’s own assessment, set apart from the narrative. One example: the Patel integration is the hidden foundation of Indian strategic power — a Balkanized subcontinent of fifty sovereign fragments could never have become a major player in world affairs.
