"At once a freedom fighter, social reformer and environmental thinker, Mahatma Gandhi's ideas were original and controversial. Though much criticised, Gandhi's life and work continue to illuminate the major social and political debates of our time."

Guha's recent books include:
India after Gandhi: The history of the world's largest democracy (2007), 
Makers of Modern India (2010)

RamGuha is also an environmental historian.
I've bought one of his books 'Ecology and Equity' (co-written with the Ecologist Madhav Gadgil from IISc)  while in B'lore 10years ago.
