JNU: Nationalism and India’s Uncivil War, by Makarand Paranjpe, a long-standing JNU professor is an empathetic insider’s account of JNU’s problems from an expert in the field of higher education.

Through this book, the author makes an impassioned plea to transform rather than destroy JNU, as also reform higher education. But more than that, this book is also a history of our times, of India’s ongoing transformation, the story of the changing self-apprehension of a nation.
