review 1: Dharma, Corruption, Anna Hazare, ReformsGurcharan Das talks about that how throughout history India has been Dharma centric, that is, doing the right thing. It talks about the history of how India grew with all the problems, where it is currently and the future. Das recommends that time has finally come for the second set of Reforms and if properly implemented these new reforms will solve the problem of corruption.Book depicts the optimism of Gurcharan Das.I recommend to read this book to get new insights about Indian Society.
review 2: The title of the book, "India Grows at Night" is only half the saying of the complete sentence: 'India grows at night while the state sleeps.' The book begins with a famous quote by Aristotle,"The state exists for the sake of go... moreod life, not for the sake of life alone." The book has explained the origin of 'weak Indian state' from history of prevailing kingdoms to the presently existing fast paced 21st century situation. The author has advocated for free market economy based on impartial, transparent rules and regulations along with small but minimal state to guide it as the welfare state had failed on numerous accounts.Though there was a feeling inside me that throughout the book author has been highly critical of the government and considered the market based economy as the only way forward.Overall it's a very good read. :) less
