| Summary, etc | Whole Numbers and Half Truths" by Rukmini S. offers a fresh look at India's complex socio-economic landscape through data. Challenging common perceptions, the book reveals that while urbanization, a growing middle class, and progressive youth are often highlighted, deep-rooted societal patterns, such as caste-based preferences and conservative values, persist. Rukmini draws on extensive data and interviews to provide a clearer picture of India, exposing the gap between public discourse and reality. This insightful work serves as a toolkit to understand India’s evolving social and political dynamics. |
