William Dalyrmple, a Scot by birth, has won about every writing award that you can imagine for a non-fiction writer. His primary subject has been India, its history, people, and places. In this article, he turns his eye toward the current political economy of India, and in it you can get a complete sense of India today, the promise and the disappointment. The figures he quotes show great growth and promise and saddening failure. I commend this article for anyone who wants to get an insider's overview of what's going on here in this land of contrasts.
