Nandan Nilekani Co-Chairman, Infosys Technologies discussing his new book Imagining India: Ideas for the New Century
http://imaginingindia.com
India's future rests on more than simply economic growth; it also depends on reform and innovation in all sectors of public life. Imagining India traces the efforts of the country's past and present leaders as they work to develop new frameworks that suit India's specific characteristics and challenges. Imagining India charts the ideas that are crucial to India's current infrastructure revolution and quest for universal literacy, urbanization, and unification; maps the ideological battlegrounds of caste, higher education, and labor reform; and argues that only a safety net of ideas-from social security to public health to the environment-can transcend political agendas and safeguard India's economic future.
