The Elephant Paradigm: India Wrestles With Change is about an ancient civilization's reawakening to the spirit and potential of its youth. Following up on India Unbound, which examined India's transformation in the 1990s from a closed to an open economy, The Elephant Paradigm explores subjects such as panchayati raj, national competitiveness, and the philosophical concerns of the average Indian after India's entry into the age of liberation. Das argues that India will progress steadily like a wise elephant, reflecting on its past and enjoying the journey. The author uses essays to discuss various facets of this transition, assessing societal, political, and economic changes, and examining individual beliefs and aspirations. The essays capture the disappointments and joys of the 90s revolution, providing insight into the new India.
