India is poised to become one of the world's three largest economies in the next generation and to overtake China as the world's most populous country by 2032. Well before then India's incipient nuclear deterrent will have acquired intercontinental range and air, sea and land capabilities. India's volatile relationship with its nuclear-armed neighbour, Pakistan, may prove to be the source of the world's next major conflict. And if you call anyone -- from your bank to rail enquiries -- your query may well be dealt with by a graduate in Gujarat. Any way one looks at it, India's fate matters. In IN SPITE OF THE GODS, Edward Luce, one of the most incisive and talented journalists of his generation, will assess the forces that are forging the new nation. Cutting through the miasma that still clouds thinking about India, this extraordinarily accomplished book takes the measure of a society that is struggling to come to grips with modernity.Drawing on historical research, existing literature and his own unparalleled access as the New Delhi-based, South Asia correspondent of the FT, this is a book that will enthral as well as educate and will remain the definitive book on the country for many years.

评分之所以看这本书,是因为最近刚刚看完阉割版的中国近代史,副标题是《The rise of mordern china》。 没过几天看到这本有关印度近代史的,副标题居然是《The strange rise of mordern india》,不免好奇,同样是雄起,印度的雄起为啥非要加个“奇怪的”呢? 这本书看下来,大概...
评分看了这本书,突然就觉得共产党的好起来。 狂热的宗教信仰,封建传统,集体主义,自我意识的缺乏,这些中国和印度几乎是一致的,如果没有共产党的革命,中国的今天,不会比印度好多少。 所有狂热宗教信仰的人都有一个问题,就是失去探求真理的真心,并且也不愿别人探求真理。 宗...
评分好几次想停下来不看了,后来纯粹是为了不想落一个半途而废的名堂驽着头皮看完了。 看这本书的动力是因为通过各种渠道,知道印度和中国一样,古老的国家在发生着急剧的变化,很想通过一本书籍窥探这个过程。可惜看完这本书,只记得满满的文字,没有特别印象深刻的章节和...
