What becomes very clear in this book is that although India's economy has really taken off and many of citizens are living much better lives, a lot of the old problems still exists, and abject poverty is still a way of life for vast amount of the population. Nadan Nilekani spends most of the book discussing the ways in which hopefully, these problems can finally be solved. What I found lacking in these discussions was the voice of the common man. Nilekani talked with experts in many fields and shared these ideas with the readers. But the voice of the people actually suffering the maladies of India was virtually absent, and in my opinion, this point of view was sorely missed and the book suffered as a consequence. ( ) Finally managed to finish this book. All I can say is two words Unputdownable and FANTASTIC. The amount of detail presented is mind boggling, enough detail to serve as a text book on Indian commerce, economics, anthropology. The author has very grand designs for the betterment of the country and I wish him all the best in that mammoth effort. A definite must read. I only wish that he had devoted a final chapter to some finite steps on how to overcome and mitigate a lot of the issues he has explained in very great detail in the previous ones.

India's recent economic boom has triggered tremendous social, political, and cultural change. The result is a country that, while managing incredible economic growth, has also begun to fully inhabit its role on the world political stage. In this far-ranging look at the central ideas that have shaped this young nation, Infosys cofounder Nilekani offers an original interpretation of the country's past, present, and future. He traces the efforts of the country's past and present leaders as they work to develop new frameworks that suit India's specific characteristics and challenges. He charts the ideas that are crucial to India's current infrastructure revolution and quest for universal literacy, urbanization, and unification; maps the ideological battlegrounds of caste, higher education, and labor reform; and argues that only a safety net of ideas--from social security to public health to the environment--can transcend political agendas and safeguard India's economic future.--From publisher description.
