For a book that criticises hereditary politics, it is strange that a political portrait of a large varied country like India is just the biography of d Nehru/Gandhis and Advani. And that also makes it outdated and too focused on d past. Surprised !

Second section was on economics and seemed patchy and rehashed. But thankfully a fast read particularly bcoz it is anecdotal.

Had read a book on Lakshmi Mittal earlier, good to read a profile of Airtel's Sunil Mittal and his outsourcing to IBM & co. Love these stories of Indian entrepreneurs making it despite such odds.

Done with the political 1/3rd. Loved the last chapter in the section on hereditary politics and 2009 elections. And it was the only contemporary one.

I am surprised at the strong defense of Jinnah by the author and his placing the blame squarely at non-Muslims for partition. Anyways, am used to weird/inverse interpretations, not found any factual errors and that is enough.
