India Unbound
In India Unbound , acclaimed writer Gurcharan Das offers a ringside view of economic and social transformation of a nation. It is the riveting story of a nation s rise from poverty to prosperity and the clash of ideas that 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. Das traces these developments, deftly interweaving memoir with contemporary history. In doing so he has written a book that is impassioned and erudite. India Unbound is recommended reading for anyone interested in understanding modern India.
