Great research, writing from author, James Crabtree:
He's put grueling effort. He's interviewed a multitude of people for writing this book. Therefore, I want to give credit and appreciate the author.
He gives, an accurate narrative of Political-Business class. The book is dense with many details. This shows author's accuracy and his grasp on India. I'm amused, giggled many times while reading stories in this work.
I am reminded of Yuri Milner, Russian-American Tech Billionaire. His life in 90's in America working in World Bank. He was in Russia. At the right time, at the right place, bought up state companies through his connections.
The terms used in the work are funny, “Goonda Raj.” (Hindi), which means, henchman govt.
What would you learn from this?
-Learn about India from politico-business perspective
-An Outsider would understand how Indian society works
-Laugh from many stories
-Relationship Capitalism
-Might help you to figure out, What you want in your life?
On Life:

Live a simple peaceful life in a rural town with your family?
Do you want a life of meaning?
Do you want to live for your family?
Where do you place your identity and meaning?
You Choose your life path: Ad Maiorem Dei Christus Gloriam.
There is no right or wrong in this.
