<b>India Unbound</b> - The Social and Economic Revolution from Independence to the Global Information Age by Gurcharan Das.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->“Something tremendous is happening in India, and Das, with his keen eye and often elegant prose, has his finger firmly on the pulse of the transformation.”–The New York Times Book Review

“One of the most readable and insightful books to appear on India’s tortuous economic path in its 54 years since shaking off British rule.”–Business Week

“Head and shoulders above the customary bunch. This elegant essay has something for everyone.”–St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“For American readers accustomed to view India as a land of tigers rather than high-tech and maharajahs rather than microchips, this book will come as a welcome surprise.” --The Washington Post Book World

“Informative, entertaining, and basically correct about India’s need to embrace capitalism more wholeheartedly, for all the costs and risks.” —The Economist<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Vignettes of V.G. Whine by Vijaya Raajan
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Brief overview

Emailed vignettes from an IT Consultant's life. For lack of other avenues, she conveys all her views and ideas by email.....including her philosophy on various aspects of the management and entrepreneurial worlds. Through a series of fictional scenarios, the author has conveyed thought-inspiring intellectual debates on Management, and suggested tangible and alternative approaches on how to improve People Management practices on a global scale.

Recommended reading for all students, academics and researchers engaged in Management studies, Entrepreneurs, CXO's, Managers, Professionals of all disciplines, in all walks of life, presenting as it does, a serious alternative approach to People Management.

It is heartening indeed to see a young Indian author, with  professional consultancy experience, presenting a global perspective, heralding the contributions by Indian professionals in USA and other countries, as entrepreneurship goes multi-national and as management skills rooted in many world-traditions provide an ever-lasting inspiration to attain entrepreneurial excellence on a global frame of reference.

The author should be complimented for her significant contribution to the world of entrepreneurship, management studies and practices.
