Description

Buy India From Midnight To The Millennium Second hand books, Authored by Shashi Tharoor from Used Book Store.

India: From Midnight to the Millennium and Beyond, makes an eloquent case for India’s importance to the future of the industrialized world. Shashi Tharoor convincingly shows that India is in the midst of the greatest challenges facing the world today. If democracy leads to ineffective political struggle, should democracy be sacrificed for economic prosperity? Does religious fundamentalism offer developing countries a way to assert their identity in the face of Western hegemony, or are its pluralism and the diversity of cultural and religious traditions? Does the influx of Western consumer goods threaten economic self-sufficiency in a country where protectionism is the only guarantee of independence? The answers to these questions will determine the nature of our world in the 21st century. With Indians making up nearly one-sixth of the world’s population today, their choice will resonate across the globe. Shashi Tarar tackles this vast subject in a work of extraordinary depth and surprising originality, combining elements of political science with personal reflections, memoirs, fiction, and polemics, all captured in vivid and compelling prose explanations.
