The Caged Phoenix: Can India Fly? argues through a fine blend of
theory and new empirical evidence, that despite the promises of
Independence and liberalization India continues to remain caged in
backwardness. Why does the phenomenal growth story not translate
into development? Why is the much vaunted human-resource capital
not taking India towards excellence? How can deprivation and
prosperity live so easily side by side? Questioning traditional
thought, Dipankar Gupta critically examines how the elite is
reluctant to acknowledge that structural impediments, and not
cultural factors, deny growth benefits to the majority of one
billion plus Indians how the wealth of a few is intimately tied to
the poverty of many the close link between growth in high
technological sectors of the Indian economy on the one side, and
sweat shops and rural stagnation on the other how affluence came to
the developed West only when general standards arose across all
social classes Combining scholarship with an easy, engaging style,
Dipankar Gupta enters uncharted territories to question why,
despite so much talent, human resource and an open society, India
is still waiting to fly.
