Riding the Indian Tiger: Understanding India -- the World's Fastest Growing Market: "If you're an investor, you need to know about India. Unfortunately, before Riding the Indian Tiger came out, snappy, all-in-one primers on India's past, present, and future had been hard to come by. Riding the Indian Tiger is a balanced and digestible overview that tells a bit about India's history, a bit about its regions, a bit about how it compares with China, and thoughts on its future."
