📝 About The Book

This thought-provoking Marathi translation by V. S. Walimbe is a timeless reflection on India's socio-political landscape during a pivotal decade of change. Spanning the turbulent and transformative ten years leading up to the mid-1990s, the book offers a sweeping overview of the forces that have shaped modern India.

Described as “a book for all persons and all seasons,” it shines with clarity, insight, and a deep sense of national responsibility. The author examines the fading memory of public events, the persistent challenges that plague governance, and the enduring strength of India’s cultural and historical legacy.

Drawing upon India's economic awakening — once called the "sleeping giant" by Lee Kuan Yew — the book explores how India, long shackled by red tape and political stagnation, has begun to emerge as a dynamic player on the global stage. It reflects on what ails the nation, the riches of its heritage, and the tremendous potential it holds for the future.

This essential volume is not just a historical account, but also a mirror to contemporary India. It is an ideal read for policy enthusiasts, students, thinkers, and anyone who wishes to better understand the complexity and promise of India.
