BANGALORE: Historian Ramachandra Guha on Friday released “The Long Revolution,” a book on transformation of India from the exporting spices and gems in ancient times to a frontrunner in the technology and knowledgebased sector, authored by senior journalist Dinesh C Sharma.

The book, according to Guha, is an outcome of the research by the author under the New India Fellowship programme instituted to document the post-independence India.

Dinesh C Sharma, the science editor of an English daily, said the book is an attempt to present a clearer picture on the IT revolution. “The industry has its myths and hypes, claims and counter-claims. This book is an attempt to set the record straight,” he said at the book launch.

N Seshagiri, former director general, National Informatics Centre and S Sadagopan, director, IIIT, Bangalore, participated in the panel discussion that followed.
