Dance of the elephant in a global safari

Dr Satish Kumar GAP

This talk traces the emergence of India from a subject nation to that of a self-governing, economic miracle, looking at key contributions that India made to the colonial economy. Coming forward, the talk will focus on emerging India as an economic power and the role of its diaspora. Finally, the major challenges that continue to confront India today and requirements around sustaining economic, social and political sustainability will be explored.
