India has one of the fastest growing economies on earth. Over the
past three decades, socialism has been replaced by pro-business
policies as the way forward. And yet, in this 'new' India, grinding
poverty is still a feature of everyday life. Some 450 million
people subsist on less than $1.25 per day and nearly half of
India's children are malnourished. In his latest book, Atul Kohli,
a seasoned scholar of Indian politics and economics, blames this
discrepancy on the narrow nature of the ruling alliance in India
that, in its new-found relationship with business, has prioritized
economic growth above all other social and political
considerations. This thoughtful and challenging book affords an
alternative vision of India's rise in the world that its democratic
rulers will be forced to come to grips with in the years ahead.
