Tiger, Elephant, and Cell Phone India the Emerging 21-st Century Power

"In this book Tharoor describes the vast changes that have recently transformed this once sleeping giant into a world leader in the realms of science and technology, a nation once poverty-stricken that now boasts a middle class of over 300 million people - as large as the entire population of the United States." "In his characteristically lucid prose Tharoor discusses the strengths and weaknesses of his rapidly changing homeland in five areas - politics, economics, culture, society, and sports. Artfully combining hard facts and statistics with opinion and observation, he takes a fresh look at the world's second most populous country."--BOOK JACKET.Tharoor, Shashi is the author of 'Tiger, Elephant, and Cell Phone India the Emerging 21-st Century Power', published 2007 under ISBN 9781559708616 and ISBN 1559708611.
