"India Shining" has become the brand name for a new India
presented in Bollywood films, advertisements, and books. A key part
of this image is the software industry, held up as the symbol of
prosperity and post-modernity.
Opening with a primer on the Seven Leading Myths about the Indian
IT Industry, Dot.compradors reveals the darker reality behind
"India Shining," providing a history of the industry from the 1970s
to the present day. Jyoti Saraswati punctures the myth of a
free-market industry by showing the role of state intervention, and
shows how vested interests and elite corruption have shaped, and
continue to shape, one of the world's most dynamic sectors.
Both a detailed case study and a wider consideration of development
issues, Dot.compradors argues that the software industry is a
substantial obstacle to a broader-based, more egalitarian form of
development in India.
