Title : India Unbound
Author : Gurcharan Das
What a book!!! It took me almost five months to complete this book, I took two three breaks in between too in which I finished some other novels (the ones reviewed below). This book is about India Indians Indianess(don;t know if any such word exist). Its about looking into the social/cultural/economic aspect of a country from author's point of view. But the book has been written in such a manner that you could relate to it every here and there. It starts with the time when the author was born, how India was like then and as the person grows up, how it has changed. It gives an unbiased(as far as I felt) view of various Indian Governments and how their policies have shaped the way India is today. Read it to know more about your country......read it know more about your history......read it to learn about economics.....read it to learn about business ethics.......read it to know about philosophy....read it to know about world affairs........read it to know about people/their psychology......whatever!! just go grab it and read it once and you will cherish what's written in it.I used to be an ardent BJP supporter but after reading this I have realized there are good/bad people everywhere
kudos to Das for writing such a book!!!
My take: One must read it once atleast
