With 1.1 billion residents, the world's largest democracy is poised to
dominate the world stage. One of India's wealthiest men gives an insider's view
into his country's dynamic transformation, revealing the forces and unique
characteristics behind India's meteoric rise.

The buzzword of the 21st century is "India" - and it's not just a story of
software, outsourcing, and faraway call centers. With the economy soaring at
eight percent a year, India is a medical and pharmaceutical front-runner, an R&D
powerhouse, a rising manufacturing hub, and an up-and-coming cultural
trend-setter in areas from fashion to film. And the world is taking note:
Western companies from Lockheed Martin to McDonald's are moving in, Ford is
setting up factories, Coca-Cola is heading to the countryside in rickshaws, and
research centers for Fortune 500 companies are popping up everywhere. Meanwhile,
the U.S. military is forging close ties, as India has become a key strategic
partner.

One out of every six people in the world lives in India.

India is the fastest-growing free-market economy.

India is the world's top destination for retailers.

India has the world's youngest workforce (over 500 million people under 25).

Salute the Nation.... Happy Indepence Day......

2007-08-14T04:48:00.000-07:00

Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again."
Jawaharlal Nehru (Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947)
