Best books/lectures/papers to learn about recent South Asia political and economic history?

As an amateur historian, I love books that give you a comprehensive look on the recent history of a region or set of countries; for example: "The Forgotten Continent" by Michael Reid on Latin American politics, "Postwar" by Tony Judt on Europe post-WW2, etc.

Which books/papers/lectures/articles/videos would you recommend to know much better the last five or four decades of South Asia politics, economics and society?
