Engardio is a senior writer for BusinessWeek, and much as I dislike the term "Chindia" nonetheless he does a good job of analysing the cultures, economics and business practices of the two nations, and looks especially at China's case for global manufacturing and India's as it's IT centre; "In Spite of the Gods - the strange rise of modern India" - by Edward Luce Luce is a seasoned FT reporter and was their bureau honcho in New Delhi for 4 years. His book is a witty, detailed, and thoughtful treaty of why India is the way it is (Indiaologist William Dalrymple, the noted India history buff, contributes a foreword) Luce's tome explores the historical context and is able to rationalise the effect of this, and it's continuing impact on India's development. Both well worth investing in - some of the best amongst the amazing explosion of "Chindia" based titles I see at airport departure lounges! Thanks Sumita, thats a good call;
