Book Presentation: Planet India by Mira Kamdar
Book Abstract
India is the world’s largest democracy, with 1.2 billion people. Millions live in poverty, but the middle and upper classes are growing and Indian companies are at the top of their industries, including in biotechnology, services, and manufacturing. With its large population and rapid economic growth, India faces the challenges of global warming, pandemic disease, terrorism, the energy crisis, and a disparity between rich and poor head on and with much more urgency than people in the industrialized world.
The urgency of these challenges for India is spurring innovative solutions, which will catapult it to the top of the new world order. Kamdar asserts that if India succeeds, it will not only save itself, it will save us all. If it fails, we will all suffer. “As goes India, so goes the world.”

Summary of Planet India (Mira Kamdar)
Life on Planet India
In many ways, we are already living on planet India, even if we don’t know it. “No other country matters more to the future of our planet than India.” For centuries, the power was centralized in the West, but it is now shifting back to Asia. India’s problems are the world’s problems: HIV/AIDS, global warming, a stressed environment, social inequality, terrorism.
India is the youngest country in the world, with 50% of the people younger than 25. This means that India does not (and will not for many years to come) suffer from labor shortages or lack of consumers. The youth of India believe that the world is theirs for the taking.
