India's Rise to Power in the Twentieth Century and Beyond (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780333631966)

...sober and extremely well-researched book.' - Inder Malhotra, Business World ...very detailed and up-to-date account.' - Richard Newman, Times Higher Education Supplement This book examines the economic and technological basis for India's rise to power and the political factors that shape the nature of the power it will develop into. It shows that while India has concentrated on many of the scientific and technical capabilities that serve the needs of a rising power, it has not been able to achieve a balanced process of development. This imbalance feeds sub-national political discontent and undercuts the very power that India has sought to acquire, thus delaying her rise to power.
