INDIAN RENAISSANCE, THE

“Absolutely superb — thoughtful, well-researched, and full of insight …”

“Sanjeev Sanyal combines good storytelling and a keen sense of history with an economist's analytical rigour”

“A sympathetic, optimistic view of India's future from a respected economist.”

“… what impresses me most are the author's astute observations about the modern developments in India … Whether one agrees or disagrees with Sanjeev's propositions, the book is worth one's attention for its sheer intelligence and historical sweep. Subjects like history and economics might not turn everyone on, but believe me, this is one book that can make every Indian heart race — with excitement and pride, and hope in India's future.”

“… it is difficult to disagree with Mr Sanyal that 1991 represented a second lease of life for India. Much of the book is devoted to an exhaustive analysis of the forces that underlie this new India … he makes the important point that, unlike in years past, Indians today possess the confidence to take advantage of a historical opportunity.”

“Mr Sanyal's arguments and opinions are worthy for any serious journalist or policy maker to consider. His writing is clear, and often even takes a personal note, where the writer alternatively laments and enjoys his own negative and positive experiences growing up in India … he introduces to us a novel approach to thinking about India, one that is sure to be taken up by other writers in the future.”
