	IndiaStar Review of Books. Shashi Tharoor, "India: From Midnight to the Millennium," reviewed by C.J.S. Wallia
		Shashi Tharoor, a U.N. diplomat and novelist, introduces his new book, India: From Midnight to the Millennium, as "not a survey of modern Indian history, though it touches upon many of the principal events of the last five decades....It is a subjective account."
		Tharoor cites as "the most dangerous phenomenon of independent India's political life, the criminalization of politics, for many a lawbreaker has found it useful to become a lawmaker." In the current government (United Front), one of the first appointees, Taslimuddin, minister of state, had 18 criminal cases pending against him.
		Nonetheless, Tharoor provides some dazzling glimpses into India's glorious pre-Islamic period: "In the fifth century, the Malayali astronomer Aryabhatta deduced, a thousand years before his European successors, that the earth is round and that it rotates on its axis, it was also he who calculated the value of pi (3.1614) for the first time;....

		Author Shashi Tharoor has spent half of his life outside of India, yet his position as a "NRI" (Non-resident Indian) has given him the distance and perspective necessary to produce India: From Midnight to the Millennium, an in-depth critique of the country's first fifty years of independence.
		As a strident Indian patriot Tharoor seems unable to believe the idea that some people of Indian descent may actually prefer to live somewhere other than India, and offers the highly offensive suggestion that self loathing and monetary advantage could be the only motives behind ex-pat Indians desire to remain in their adoptive country.
		Tharoor is attempting to take his readers on the geographical and cultural journey of a Non Resident Indian, or NRI, and in this process to convey the mixed beauty and confusion of his homeland in a telling contrast to life in the West.
