Shashi Tharoor's "The Elephant, the Tiger, & the Cell Phone"

The Elephant, the Tiger, & the Cell Phone
India: The Emerging 21st-Century Power

Over the past 25 years, India has moved from a largely impoverished, underdeveloped country to a bustling, innovative, fast-changing society. This book shows how and why.

In his previous book, India, Shashi Tharoor, one of Indias most respected writers and diplomats, traced Indias history from late colonial times through its first 50 years of independence. In his new book on the subject, he describes the vast changes that have recently taken place to turn this once sleeping giant into one of the world leaders in the realms of science and technology, a country that now boasts a middle class of over 300,000,000 people—as large as the entire population of the United States. Dividing the work into five parts—politics, economy, culture, society, and sports—he analyzes and discusses, in his usual lucid prose, all the pros and cons of this rapidly evolving world. Artfully combining hard facts and statistics with personal opinions and observations, Tharoor offers a fresh, insightful look at the worlds second largest country.

"Pluralistic Democracy of India" - the simple sentence has a profound meaning in itself. That is the beauty, elegance and grace of India.

Compare it to the ' Authoritative communism ' of China....
