Abstract
In the last two decades, India has come into its own as its economic trajectory has “taken off” and entered new heights. Much of the world is taking notice of its new-found success and confidence.

Summary
In the last two decades, India has come into its own as its economic trajectory has “taken off” and entered new heights. In many parts of the developed world, India is looked upon as an economic rival rather than a charity case, a country with the brain and human-power to become the strategic and economic powerhouse that might someday soon be a potent, competitive force..

Regular articles that address some aspect of the new prosperity, on the development of technology, or on industrial sector innovation grace the pages of the Financial Times or Economic Times. Indians themselves seem to believe in the new selfimage, with national magazines such as India Today and newspapers such as the venerable Times of India running laudatory articles continuously on some aspect of the new economic growth. Major new books herald India’s place in the world, including Nandan Nilekani’s Imagining India and Edward Luce’s In Spite of the Gods: The Strange Rise of Modern India
