SUMMARY:

Edward Luce in his book “In Spite of the Gods: The Strange Rise of Modern India” explains India’s recent unprecedented prosperity and the barriers the country faces. This summary of his insightful book presents Luce’s views, which are more perceptive than judgmental. As a silent observer of vast India’s prospering economy, he offers an “unsentimental evaluation of contemporary India.” By analysing the country’s politics and economics, Luce offers readers a rational view about its varied strengths and weaknesses. He speaks of a country that is gradually distancing itself from religion, caste and tradition—things that have long epitomised India. Luce also sheds light on the corruption and red tapism obstructing progress in the Indian bureaucratic system. Also, the rise of Hindu nationalism poses a threat to the stability and development of modern India. All this and much more is discussed in the book summary, which provides an insight into Luce’s provoking views and sound evaluations. This book summary would be beneficial to journalists, entrepreneurs, politicians, bureaucrats and students.
