Dilip Hiro's Inside India Today (Routledge, 2014; orig. 1976), banned by Indira Gandhi's government, was acclaimed by The Guardian as simply 'the best book on India'. Now Hiro returns to his native country to chronicle the impact of the dramatic economic liberalisation that began in 1991, which ushered India into the era of globalisation. Hiro describes how India has been reengineered not only in its economy but also in its politics and cultural mores. A masterful panorama, The Age of Aspiration covers the whole social spectrum of Indians at home and abroad.
