1st 1-2 chapters are superb in explaining superb concept like "private cost of public failure", the rest of the chapters are pretty average.

The Making of India is a comprehensive look at India's socio-economic status. It outlines the challenges and possible outcomes over a variety of issues that touch our life and living as a citizen of this country.
The book is a must read for policy makers, students preparing for competitive examinations, and Indian citizens who desire more information on how the macro issues will impact their own micro lives. A lucidly written book that interlinks the various facets of social and economic structures and outlines how the interplay between these leads to choices that we must make as a country. Now.
Author Akhilesh Tilotia does a great job of overlaying sharp insights on well researched data. Deceptively simple analysis of India as a country and the choices she must make.

The diagnosis is interesting and the prescription too is well articulated. The author clearly outlines what ails the economy as many more have done. The remedies suggested also appear feasible. His concept of "private cost of public failure" is fascinating and true. Despite increase in Per Capita income the increasing Gini coefficient is indeed a cause for grave concern. All this is obvious. However, the author does not discuss the reason why the obvious prescription could not be administered so far and what would it take to administer it. The real problem in the country is no more "what needs to be done" but "how to do it".

It took me a long time to finish this book amidst work commitments but totally worth it. The somewhat grandoise title should not put the reader off, since in this case, the writer knows what he is talking about. Whether you are a student, policymaker, economist, investor or the common man, this book has something for you, and all data based discussion.

This is not a casual reading book but it is a very good reference and strategy book for India today. Chock-full of research and insights. If you work and/or live in India, a very thought provoking book. Many issues apply to other developing economies as well.
