BusinessWorld and finally at

Has India's turn finally come?
It is said of India that it is the country of the future-and will remain so. In The Turn of the Tortoise, distinguished journalist T.N. Ninan addresses a range of contemporary questions as only he can-looking at why the economy lost steam, the emerging trends in politics, the Chinese shadow over India, and the relationship between the state and the citizen. This wide-ranging book is an attempt to understand, through data and analysis, where India stands today, why it has emerged the way it has and what the next ten years might bring.
