Review of INDIA UNBOUND

Recently finished reading this book i.e. India Unbound by Gurcharan Das. A great book to read and will recommend it to anyone interested in undertanding the modern India.

"In this book India Unbound the author Gurcharan Das offers the ringside view of the economic & the social transformation of India right from the Alexander’s invasion of India to the present day Knowledge Industry. It is a fantastic story of a nation’s rise from poverty to prosperity and the clash of the ideas that occurred along the way.

Much of the book consists of the criticism about the Socialist India that Nehru intended to make, which the author claims to be the biggest disadvantage Indian economy had till 1991, when P.V Narasimha Rao, the then India Prime Minister, instituted sweeping reforms that paved the way for extraordinary growth. The author has described these changes in a very subtle and proficient manner."
