Summary/Abstract |
The radical churn in society and politics, art and Culture, Science and Technology, which makes up the recent history of modern India, was propelled by individuals – women and men who had the vision, courage and determination to leave behind a footprint of change. This book spotlights 25 such game Changers. It looks at the times in which they lived, the challenges they dealt with, and the paths they forged. What emerges is the powerful journey of a country at the threshold of change, committed to charting its own course, helmed by its richest resource – its people.
