I'm done with Chapter 1. The authors begin with a lot of promise but I can sens seething anger beneath their words. While there's a large commitment to logic and reason in defining their "new idea of India", I can't help but notice that they go on scathing attacks on Nehruvian India and their "secular" intellectual opponents. It can alienate those not already in agreement with them but also inspire some new fans too!

I had to make a mention of what I think is the best chapter in the book - "Profit is not a bad word". This one eschews the Hindu/Indic rhetoric and moves to acceptable territory of economics and governance reforms. Although the praise for the current regime seems one-sided and excessive, some of the suggestions made by the authors like deregulation and increased competition with a capacitive state are welcome!

Completed 2 more chapters with provocative titles "From Civilization to Nation" and "Saving Secularism from the Secularists". The authors go on a dramatic attack against the ills of the Nehruvian, pseudo-secular Congress past while glorifying the current regime. While I agree with the authors on their economics and general liberalism, I'm not convinced by their commitment especially when they're openly pro-Hindu.
