includes notes of the book.

What will it take to unlock India’s true growth potential? The answer is robust institutions and good governance.
Even though India is the world’s largest democracy, is real power held by its people or by those who govern them? How well are we managing the dreams and aspirations of 1.4 billion Bharatiyas? What does the future hold for India? Has the political class delivered on its promises? Is the bureaucracy capable of quick changes? Will governments ever break free of political compulsions and place citizens’ objectives as their central objective? India is acknowledged globally for its capacity to hold regular, peaceful elections—but are they free of the influence of money and muscle power? Have legislatures forgotten their basic role of monitoring the government?
