| Book Description | India today is a vibrant free-market democracy and has begun to flex its muscles in the global information economy and on the world stage. In this acclaimed book, Gurcharan Das tells the stories of the major players in a period of rapid and profound change, and makes comprehensible and compelling the economic and political developments responsible for these changes. Das argues that the changes of the past 50 years have, at last, amounted to a revolution in India. By weaving his personal story into the larger context of contemporary history, Das provides a book that is at once vigorously analytical and vividly written. |
| Editorial Review | Since the start of the recent global boom in information technology, there's been much talk in economic circles of an India covered with bold stripes, the next Asian tiger. Gurcharan Das, however, sees a much larger but lumbering elephant rising out of the muggy history of a country in which one-sixth of the world's population resides. India, as he states in India Unbound, "will never have speed, but it will always have stamina." How that stamina has evidenced itself over the past half-century is the focus of Das's book, an intricate, personal account of the beginnings of India's ongoing economic and social transformation. |
