Summary |
In India Unbound, acclaimed writer Gurucharan Das offers a ringside view of the economic and social transformation of our nation. It is the riveting story of India’s continuing rise from poverty to prosperity and the clash of ideas that has occurred along the way. Das shows how India’s policies after 1947 condemned the nation to a hobbled economy until 1991, when the government instituted sweeping reforms that paved the way for extraordinary growth. In tracing these developments, and deftly interweaving memoir with contemporary history, Das has written a book that is impassioned and erudite. With a new Afterword that updates it to 2007, India Unbound remains the perfect introduction to contemporary India.
