Contours of continuity and change Book

A thought-provoking and informative book that contains a compilation of essays about the economic, political and social standing of India in the nineties. Although it's been a while since those days have passed, the book nevertheless is quite an interesting read. There's a lot to learn, plenty of room to grow for India in every aspect and the book pinpoints all the reasons India has always remained a third-world country and how it can cure all the parasitic infections that have festered the nation since it's independence. Definitely worth the read, if you have missed out reading the newspapers in your childhood, otherwise also. In fact, this book should be made a part of our history textbooks.
