En savoir plus sur le livre

Jugaar, loosely translated as muddling through, reflects a valuable talent that has helped India navigate numerous crises, including four wars. However, this adaptability has fostered complacency, leading to a belief that urgent action is unnecessary to address ongoing challenges. Veteran journalist Mark Tully, drawing on thirty years of experience in India, explores how this mindset affects the country's ambitions of becoming an economic superpower. He examines diverse issues, from Maoist conflicts and farmer suicides to the Tiger project and the Ramayana, assessing India's complex relationship with modernity and its future prospects. As India emerges as a significant economy in the twenty-first century, questions about the sustainability of growth and its impact on national stability remain. Tully investigates whether recent changes have benefited the poor and marginalized and how to accelerate infrastructure development to keep pace with technological advancements. Through interviews with industry leaders, farmers, politicians, and spiritual figures, he captures the diverse voices of the nation. Covering topics from language preservation to wildlife protection, Tully presents a vivid portrait of India's vibrant history and potential at this critical juncture. Sir Mark Tully, born in Calcutta in 1935, has had a distinguished broadcasting career and has authored several notable books. He resides in New Delhi.
