India Unbound: From Independence To The Global Information Age, published by Penguins Book House in 2000, is a strategically told detailed economical transformation of India after its independence.
Synopsis
18th and 19th century economical and social upbringings caused by political decisions in India are narrated well in the introductory part of the book. From there it slowly progresses to the post-independence period and then gradually to modern times when contemporary India got established through a series of several economic, political and social implications. This book, containing non-fictional essaying of the economic progress of India along with its several states, is worth reading.
Slowly emerging from that discussion, the author gives a vivid account of what was the economic condition of India under its most notable Prime Ministers and how the economic policies adopted by them became successful.
