'Talking of tigers and lions, I recently came across a book that has used the imagery of an elephant to portray India in the first decade of the 21st century. Rising Elephant by Ashutosh Sheshabalaya, which became one of the bestsellers on Amazon.com last year, is a highly provocative and well-researched new book about India’s growing dominance in high-technology jobs. The author makes bold to claim that India’s “inevitable emergence as a world power – economically, militarily and, of course, technologically” poses a “long-term economic, geopolitical and societal challenge to the West.” '
