India is everywhere. Through illuminating analysis, Kamdar explores India's astonishing transformation from a developing country into a global powerhouse. She takes us inside India, reporting on the people, companies, and policies defining the new India and revealing how it will profoundly affect our future- financially, culturally, politically. While India is celebrating its meteoric rise, it is also racing against time to bring the benefits of the 21st century to the 800 million Indians who live on less than two dollars per day. India is the world in microcosm: the challenges it faces are universal- from combating terrorism, poverty and disease to protecting the environment and creating jobs. The urgency of these challenges for India is spurring innovative solutions, which will catapult it to the top of the new world order. If India succeeds, it will not only save itself, it will save us all. If it fails, we will all suffer.
