Through his insights as a former chief economic adviser, Ashok Mitra challenges the perception of India as a rising superpower. He critically examines the impact of liberalization, the Indo-US nuclear deal, and land acquisition issues, revealing deep societal problems like communalism and corruption. Mitra argues that India exists in multiple historical contexts simultaneously, with a significant portion of its population living in extreme poverty. He contends that reforms fail to address the entrenched inequalities and that economic opportunities often remain inaccessible, highlighting the complexities of India's socio-economic landscape.
