A New Idea of India
A New Idea of India constructs and expounds on a new framework beyond the rough and tumble of partisan politics. Lucid in its laying out of ideas and policies while taking a novel position, this book is illuminated by years of research and the authors’ first-hand experiences, as citizens, entrepreneurs, and investors, of the vagaries and challenges of India.
Praise for A New Idea of India
"A clear look into India’s political, social, and economic history unobstructed by decades of agenda-driven narratives that sought to muddy the waters of our civilizational truths."
— Nirmala Sitharaman, Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, Government of India
"India suffers from political scientists who slavishly recommend that India follow in the footsteps of their counterparts in the United States, and frame its policies around ethnic groups rather than around individuals and their fundamental rights. Rajeev and Harsh, two brilliant young authors, confront these political scientists head-on with a fabulous book."
— Jagdish Bhagwati, University Professor, Columbia University
"We need our own understanding to build a new idea of India. An idea of india that is actually connected to the real india. An idea of india that works. A good first step to build that is to read this wonderful book by these two young intellectuals."
— Amish Tripathi, Director, The Nehru Centre
