India grows at night by Gurcharan Das

Description:

Book Summary

India Grows at Night argues that Indias economic success has often happened despite weak public institutions, not because of them hence the wry saying India grows at night when the government sleeps. Das uses this image to capture a central paradox: while Indian society and enterprise have become increasingly dynamic, the state and its institutions have lagged in effectiveness and accountability.
