The first decade of the new century has seen global attention turn to India and thankfully largely for positive reasons. The world seems to have recognised that `Incredible India`, the catchy byline propagated by the country`s Ministry of Tourism, is not just a hyperbole but reflects the multifaceted achievements and features of this enigmatic country. The elephant it seems can dare to dance. The set of essays in this volume by Rajiv Kumar, one of more established and appreciated economic columnists in the country, explore the different aspects of this theme of India`s future prospects. The essays written in a crisp and readable style provide unique insights in the on-going transition in India from a person who has observed it at close quarters over the last three decades from several different perspectives.
The illustrations by Jennifer Williams offer without another set of insights from a socially engaged artist who has used the sketches to highlight the complexity and diversity of the changing Indian reality.
