Issue 42 - September 2010 - Will Britain (really) play with us?

[Pragati - The Indian National Interest Review]

Dear reader,

Here's the September 2010 issue of Pragati. In the cover story we explore the prospects of a transformation in India's relations with Britain, following Prime Minister David Cameron's successful trip to Bangalore & New Delhi. 

Another theme we highlight in this issue is the plain truth about Kashmir and the danger of obfuscating the Islamist element that lies at the heart of separatist politics in the state.

How India invests in human capital in order to reap the demographic dividend is likely to be the signal story of India's economic growth over the next two decades. You'll find analyses of two recent studies on demographics, growth and the labour market in our pages this month.

Also in this issue: responding to the superbug, understanding the global financial meltdown and establishing a rational pay structure for our MPs. That's not all. We have some cricket & films! 

You can download the issue in PDF by clicking here (http://is.gd/eQwxz), visit a big bookstore (in Indian cities), or ask QuillMedia to send you printed copies.

As usual, Read & Share!
