Synopsis"India is a country obsessed by politics. In early 2019, it faces national elections,
and urgent questions present themselves: will India continue down a path of
populism and increasingly strident Hindu nationalism or will it return to its
postcolonial secular vision? Is the long-promised economic boom finally at hand,
or is some form of socialism part of India's DNA? Will the seemingly invincible
Modi triumph again, or will India revert to its habit of throwing out incumbents?
Best-selling author Ruchir Sharma has been on the road during Indian elections
for twenty-five years and here distills the wisdom of his observations and
experiences over that time in a deeply insightful book about the world's largest
and most complex exercise in democracy."
