Narasimha is part of a national shift in India. He represents a new stratum of Indian society that is rapidly climbing out of poverty. It’s driven in part by the country’s growing wealth and in part by a wave of mass intrinsic growth. Although Narasimha grew up in a poor rural family, the combination of basic education, self-motivation, and economic opportunity puts him in a new category. He’s somewhere between the vast population of the extreme poor who haven’t yet seen much change and the historical upper classes.
