Naushad Forbes clearly explains the problems plaguing India not only from an economic point of view ,but through a holistic lens. The policies to tackle these problems have been talked in length but the author provides specific prescription. A lot of focus on research, innovation and bringing in competition in the economic policy is the way forward. Further he also emphasises on the culture and institutions that are the foundations of the nation.
