India Arriving:How This Economic Powerhouse Is Redefining Global Business

Since long, India has posed and will continue to pose an enigmatic look to the world. In the authors’ words, India is a land of oddities, puzzles, paradoxes and ethnic fractures with a democratic tradition. She is also a measure of isolation (within) and globalization (outside). Inspite of such national puzzles in place, India is changing. The book is all about India changing and arriving in multiple senses to “look familiar to an outsider”. India, a poor and ethnically fractured country with low development on both economic and social fronts, has evidenced to the world that a seminal tool like non-violence can free a nation from colonial oppressors and has marched towards institutional development like developed countries and economic growth like East Asia. India’s federal character has positively contributed to the growth of the services sector to GDP, growth of private education and improved agricultural extension services which piloted the absence of food-grain crop failures. Federalism, not devoid of its drawbacks, has also lead to substantial corruption.
