Product Description
Indian software entrepreneur Nandan Nilekani has written the definitive book about modern India.
Nilekani gives us a fascinating new perspective for the twenty-first century, defying received and imported wisdom, and showing us what is really at stake in the world's largest democracy. He reveals why India's huge population has now become her greatest strength; how information technology is bringing the benefits of globalization; why rapid urbanization is transforming social and political life; and how we can learn from India's difficult journey towards a single internal market.
He also gets to the heart of debates about labour reform, the social security system, higher education and the role of the state. And he asks the key questions of the future: how will India as a global power avoid the mistakes of earlier development models? Will further access to the open market continue to stimulate such extraordinary growth? And how will all this affect - and be shaped by - her young people.

Format:Hardcover
This the best book on India I have ever read. Nandan Nilekani nicely explains how India evolved, what are key strengths and weaknesses and pinpoints opportunities for the future. Everyone who wants to understand India and contribute to her future should read it.
Format:Hardcover
If you like to read books related to finance and economics, this book is a great read. I have read several books on finance and economics like, Age of Turbulence by Alan Greenspan. Liers Poker by Michael Lewis, Too big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin. All these books are great reads, but Imagining India: The Idea of a Renewed Nation kept me a lot more involved throughout the book. This is a well written book, very easy to understand. I would strongly recommend readers who want an understanding of how Indian policy affected its development to read this book.
