India in the twenty-first century is-perhaps more than at any other time in its history-a place of contradictions. On the one hand, it is perceived as a rising superpower, on the other, it is classified as a third-world country. These issues and counter-issues, and more, are discussed in this anthology by some of the most informed and insightful commentators on India: Ajit Balakrishnan, Sheldon Pollock, Gopal Guru, Ranjani Mazumdar, and Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, among others. Taken together, the essays in this volume illustrate why the country?s achievements should be seen only in the context of its problems, in order to get a complete picture of contemporary India .
