About book Imagining India, Ideas For The New Century (2008)

Imagining India as yet another of the United States, full of loud-talking parvenus and peasants playing the stock market on smartphones. Bangalore, which in its modern form seems to have been invented largely by the author, is the least interesting city in the country. The Indian population, it is true, is very intelligent, quick to learn and to adapt as it always has, but it's a shame if that is at the cost of their ancient and wiser heritage A must read for one interested to know what happened in India after Independence regarding Industrial Revolution. What were the problems being faced to set up an industry. The licence Raj. How Tata's and Birla's emerged. And the development of IT industry in late 80's. THE DEMOGRAPHIC DIVIDEND ie. the power house of modern India. This is one of the few books i have read and this book has helped me in clearing many GD's. A must read!!!
