What happens when a nation chooses democracy before development, exports talent before building factories, and nurtures world-class engineers while neglecting basic literacy? India happens. A Sixth of Humanity is not just another book on the economy — it’s a sweeping, data-rich, quietly provocative retelling of India’s journey from 1947 to 2024. Kapur and Subramanian peel back the layers of our political gambles, economic detours, societal shifts and nation-building miracles to reveal how India became… India.
