Both Ajay Chhibber and Salman Anees Soz set the stage for a discourse on economic revival and re-engineering, changing the role of the state, developing human capital and unleashing competitiveness to be future-ready. Moving away from finding faults with governments in meddling in certain matters or not done enough in some others, Unshackling India reposes a great deal of faith in the potential of Indian economy despite deep-rooted problems in agriculture, industry or even the services sector. Easy to find all stakeholders guilty, but difficult to provide an alternative narrative, which the book does. The authors are upbeat about the possibilities that climate change and transition to a low-carbon economy might provide for India’s economic growth. New technologies, new ways of manufacturing, new job opportunities and also to get rid of some of the hangovers of the past is – Unshackling India.
