Thanks, Jim, this sounds like a great book. You send up a lot of good books. I'm sure I can't read them all, nor can I validate this one, but it's good to know that they will be up there when I am able to grab them. I will look for this one when it gets added to the collection and download a copy. Keep on keeping on.

Interviewing a wide range of people, from Bollywood movie producers to indebted farmers committing suicide to tea merchants and U.S. software engineers working in India, Mira gives the flavor of India today, tells how it got there, and gives a sense of where it is going along with what its decisions will mean for the entire planet. Mira is not afraid to break taboos, and she addresses both the tremendous optimism and potential in India as well as the Herculean challenges that the country faces. In Planet India, you'll get the human side of the story as well as that of the geo-political and economic implications of what is going on in India. Jim Nuttall--Michigan
