	The Hindu : Other States / Union Territories News : `Implementation failed Nehruvian socialism'
		Das explained the book as an attempt to explain how a rich nation (India) became poor and was now on the threshold of becoming rich again.
		Das went to say that he was not satisfied with the performance of the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram and Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, in pushing the reforms regime towards a desired momentum.
		Das was, said that caste discrimination, criminalisation of politics, corruption growing to levels where people lost faith in the system and growing numbers of the educated unemployed often created conditions that derailed the political system and slowed the reforms process.

		Das is different insofar as his work is non-fiction, an economic tract embroidered by personal narrative.
		In fact, Das says, it is the west's anti-capitalists who are denying the poor the chance of getting rich, a fact illustrated by the delay in allowing GM crops to be grown in India.
		Das admits that nuclear war casts a large shadow over the subcontinent, but frowns on his country's obsession with its neighbour.

	[No title]
		India Unbound, Gurcharan Das’ first work of non-fiction, is a personal narrative recalling India’s social and economic history from independence to the present.
		Deeply influenced by Rawls, Das suggests that “alleviating poverty is more important that achieving equality.” The middle section of India Unbound traces Das’ career development at P&G and the Indian state’s expansion of bureaucratic controls of the economy.
		Das’ narrative style of integrating personal anecdotes with historical events makes for an engaging story; yet it also enables him to take occasional cheap shots at those with whom he disagrees.

		Das, an Indian venture capitalist and columnist for the Times of India (and former CEO of Procter & Gamble India), uses his own experiences as a businessman as the context in which to comment on India's postcolonial economic policies.
