A varied cross section of India&;s current intelligentsia contribute to this anthology of essays addressing what India represents for today and what it should stand for in the future. Aside from its booming economy there are a number of key issues India must confront, among them the treatment of women and minorities, the conflict between secularism and religion, and cultural phenomenons like the rise of Bollywood. Just as significant as the pragmatic aspects of these concerns is the degree to which they affect India&;s overall image&;the idea of India&;both internally and internationally.

Industry Reviews

"A wide canvas of thoughts . . . The essays are extremely readable and some are quite short and sweet." --"Business Standard"
"As a collection of essays on India's identity hunt . . . the book displays far better academic objectivity and it strives for balance. Sunil Khilnani, of "The Idea of India" fame, uses thoughts from John Gray and others to discuss . . . Indeed it demonstrates, India has always had its rarefied enclaves of 'free mind space.'" --"Business Today"
"Asking the big questions . . . Is India struggling as a nation state? What should we do to become a mature and secular democratic people? . . . The writers of this interesting book do seem to suggest that if we ask the right questions now, we may just get a clue." --"Businessworld"
