Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-17 00:00:00 Daniela Rossler Ugh, this book was so boring; it took me forever to finish it. The genre of contemporary issues/political science/news articles-in-book format tends not to produce a lot of page-turners, but this one was particularly bad. It's another of those books (of which I have read many) that attempts to capture a picture of 'modern India', good and bad; Planet India leans very heavily to the 'good' side, probably due to the research all having taken place in 2005-6, pre-Global Recession. On the one hand, it focuses a great deal on India-US interactions, which I am interested in for obvious reason. Most books like this pay greater attention to India-UK connections, which of course makes sense, but I'm not above wanting to read about myself. On the other hand, I have now read enough statistics on the growth rates of India's agriculture in 1990 vs 2000, or imports vs exports, or that Reliance made $5 billion in 2005, but is projected to make $6 billion in 2006, etc, etc, than I have ever wanted to do. If you're interested in the topic, there are better books.
