Halfway through the book already. Its a detailed analysis presented in lucid language with interesting datasets. People interested in the economy of india which is a far cry from the media obsessed with gdp figures are bound to admire this piece of genuine work from top economists of the world.

While the media focuses on economic growth rates, Jean Dreze and Amartya Sen focus on how the popular opinion is biased, making the country look more like oases in the midst of the burning desert sands.
