John Zubrzycki’s recent book, Dethroned: Patel, Menon and The Integration of Princely India, is a riveting account of the absorption of the Princely states into the Indian union post-1947. Zubrzycki expertly juggles a fascinating cast of characters, from Mountbatten to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and from V.P Menon to Jawaharlal Nehru, to present a captivating account of the chess game that saved the subcontinent from fragmentation. In conversation with writer and historian Sam Dalrymple and historian Narayani Basu, author of V.P.Menon - The Unsung Architect Of Modern India, Zubrzycki takes us through the integration of Princely India.
