Interest in India has never been greater. Here Shashi Tharoor, one of the subcontinentâ€™s most respected writers and diplomats, offers precious insights into this complex, multifaceted land, which despite its dazzling diversity of languages, customs, and cultures remainsÂ—more than sixty years after its foundingÂ—the worldâ€™s largest democracy. He describes the vast changes that have transformed this once sleeping giant into a world leader in science and technology, a nation once poverty-stricken that now boasts a middle class of over 300 million peopleÂ—as large as the entire population of the United States. Artfully combining hard facts and statistics with opinion and observation, Tharoor discusses the strengths and weaknesses of his rapidly evolving homeland in five areasÂ—politics, economics, culture, society, and sportsÂ—and takes a fresh look at the worldâ€™s oldest civilizations and most populous countries.
