Synopsis

India's recent economic performance has attracted world attention but the country is re-awakening not just as an economy but as a civilization. After a thousand years of the decline, it now has a genuine opportunity to re-establish itself as a major global power.In “The Indian Renaissance”, the author, Sanjeev Sanyal, looks at the processes that led to ten centuries of fossilization and then at the powerful economic and social forces that are now working together to transform India beyond recognition. These range from demographic shifts to rising literacy levels, but the most important revolution has been the opening of mind and the changed attitude towards innovation and risk.This book is about how India found itself at this historic juncture, the obstacles that it still needs to negotiate and the future that it may enjoy. The author tells the story from the perspective of the new generation of Indians who have emerged from this great period of change.Published and distributed worldwide by World Scientific Publishing Co. except India, UK and North America

Review

A sympathetic, optimistic view of India's future from a respected economist.

Book Description

... it is difficult to disagree with Mr Sanyal that 1991 represented a second lease of life for India. Much of the book is devoted to an exhaustive analysis of the forces that underlie this new India ... he makes the important point that, unlike in years past, Indians today possess the confidence to take advantage of a historical opportunity.
