Home to the world's largest democracy, India is not only a news maker but a policy shaper in the Asian subcontinent. Facing population pressures and economic struggles, however, it is an emerging nation whose greatest assets are often the very factors it has to tackle to secure a place on the world's stage.
Fritz Blackwell is associate professor of history at Washington State University, Pullman, WA.
"India is the subject of many excellent books, but Blackwell's is unique ... The book provides basic information for students travelers, and educators ... Highly recommended. All libraries." - Choice "It deserves high marks as a reference for prospective tourists or business travelers ... It is also very suitable as a text for courses in current events or comparative cultures at the advanced high school or introductory college level, possibly in combination with others in the Global Studies: Asia series. Blackwell is clearly knowledgeable about his subject, which he treats with sympathy and understanding, providing lucid explanations as well as a treasure trove of source material for further study." - South Asian Review
