As the world gets radically upended, India’s development odyssey is at a critical juncture. A Sixth of Humanity is an attempt to trace how one of the largest and most diverse countries in the world, uniquely and daringly, attempted four concurrent transformations—building a state, creating an economy, changing society and forging a sense of nationhood—under conditions of universal suffrage. Rigorously researched, carefully argued and lucidly written, this is the definitive development history of India.
