·Features a foreword by Sunil Khilnani
·Includes contributions from 37 leading thinkers such as Ramachandra Guha, Sashi Tharoor, Robin Jeffrey, Jayati Ghosh, Vinod Rai and T.S.R. Subramaniam
·Analyzes the way ahead for India in the fields of politics and governance, economics and development, security and foreign policy, society and culture, and language and literature
India is the world's largest democracy with nearly 70 years of independent existence. Its unique and ever-changing nature has sparked a great degree of academic debate, both before and since Independence. The beauty of India is that there are many kinds of Indias. Understanding the fundamentals that have given birth to such multiplicity across various segments is especially imperative in the present day, when the 'Idea of India' is keenly contested. This nation has the world's largest youth population and is undergoing tectonic social and political changes at present; therefore, understanding what directions India may take in the future is essential. India Now and in Transition is an enquiry into possible futures, based on current happenings.
Featuring contributions from leading thinkers and scholars in diverse fields, each essay in this volume critically analyzes a major theme of India's present, to propose the likely way ahead for this emergent nation. Covering the fields of politics and governance, economics and development, security and foreign policy, society and culture, and language and literature, the book shows that while beset with both internal and external challenges on many fronts, India isn't waiting for its moment. It is making its moment happen.
