Book: A Better India, A Better World ( Narayan Murthy )
With one of the highest GDP growth rates in the world and an array of recent achievements in technology, industry and entrepreneurship, India strides confidently towards the future. But, in the world’s largest democracy, not everyone is equally fortunate. Some 300 million Indians are still prey to hunger, illiteracy and disease, and 53 per cent of India’s children are still undernourished.

What will it take for India to bridge this great divide? When will the fruits of development reach the poorest of the poor, and wipe the tears from the eyes of every man, woman and child, as Mahatma Gandhi had dreamt? And how should this, our greatest challenge ever, be negotiated?

In this extraordinarily inspiring and visionary book, N.R. Narayana Murthy, who pioneered, designed and executed the Global Delivery Model that has become the cornerstone of India’s success in information technology services outsourcing, shows us that a society working for the greatest welfare of the greatest number—samasta jananam sukhino bhavantu—must focus on two simple things: values and good leadership. Drawing on the remarkable Infosys story and the lessons learnt from the two decades of post-reform India, Narayana Murthy lays down the ground rules that must be followed if future generations are to inherit a truly progressive nation.

Built on Narayana Murthy’s lectures delivered around the world, A Better India: A Better World is a manifesto for the youth, the architects of the future, and a compelling argument for why a better India holds the key to a better world.

Review by Chetan
Good Book.
*Pretty good
Review by Shyam
The author gives a wonderful insight into the policies of the indian government before the liberalisation but i disagree with the author on several points such as the delay in the liberalisation caused a lot of damage to india.
If liberalisation had happened in the 60s then MNC's wouldve taken unfair advantage of the poor ppl and the economy was very weak back then and if the MNCs started investing and divesting their cash then it wouldve made the economy very volatile.

Dear friends,

I would say i have not read the book but the title itself clearly focusing on the young generation as it has a picture on the title page. Youth bring change in every aspect. I would suggest to read the book and and know the insight of the authors mind. I wish i definitely read the book as soon as possible.
*nice book
Review by mukesh saini,Indian cicil service
book is really eye opener for us. some persons are thinking that the book is based on youth but i believe that murthy sir is focussing on youth according to mental status, not by age. he is still young, kalam sahab is young.
