| Summary, etc | On the morning of 15 August 1947, when Jawaharlal Nehru, heir to Mahatma<br/>Gandhi, the Buddha and the European Enlightenment, raised the Indian<br/>Tricolour on the ramparts of the Red Fort, the seventeenth-century palace<br/>of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, India was free to make experiments with<br/>freedom.<br/>In the seven decades since Independence, the country gradually changed from<br/>Nehru’s democratic socialism to Narendra Modi’s democratic entrepreneurial<br/>digital India, dealing with its internal contradictions by playing the game of<br/>democracy and in the process becoming the sixth-largest global economy.<br/>And with Chandrayaan exploring the Moon, a space nation was born.<br/>India overlooks the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean, abridging Southeast<br/>Asia with the Middle East. With its immense brainpower and young<br/>demographics, India is geopolitically an indispensable nation. Indians play<br/>the game of democracy any which way they can: through massive elections;<br/>parliamentary debates and no-confidence motions; coalition forming and<br/>horse-trading; hartals, bandhs, dharnas, fast-unto-death; and finally, when<br/>nothing works, they knock at the doors of the Supreme Court.<br/>India in a New Key attempts to offer an insight into questions like:<br/>-How has India been experimenting with freedom to solve its socio-economic<br/>problems?<br/>-Can Modi—like Nehru—create a unified Indian consciousness?<br/> |
