Inspite of the Gods

'Inspite of the Gods: The Strange Rise' of Modern India by Edward Luce is another anecdotal book by a foreign author. It is amazing to see someone else's perspective (and perception) on the things that we Indians take for granted. The insightful book is covers many of the modern dilemmas that face the country as it reaches out to turn a page (at least for those who can afford it in the world's biggest poverty-ridden country).
