About The Book: Betrayal in India” (1950) by D. F. Karaka offers a piercing critique of post-independence politics, exposing how power shifted from colonial hands to a new political elite. Drawing on insider accounts and journalistic insight, Karaka delves into bureaucratic inertia, corruption, and political opportunism within Nehru’s administration—coining harsh terms like “new rulers” and “silk‑capped opportunists.” He questions the integrity of princely states and the administrative class unchanged since British rule. With sharp observation, the book laments missed promises and warns of nascent authoritarian tendencies.
