India Rising

INDIA RISING tries to chronicle India, alongside its convulsions.
It is a collection of anecdotes and observations of the significant events
that marked the decade of Congress Party rule under Manmohan Singh,
culminating in the rise of Modi. It is built around the access the writer
enjoyed with some of the key decision-makers of the time. It is targeted at
the person who has a general idea of India and perhaps is curious to know
more. The reader is invited to begin anywhere because the chapters are
very nearly self-contained – like the traditional Indian village community that
only needed to reach out of its territory for salt and matrimonial alliances.
