Then in the early 1990s, the elephant seemed to wake up from its slumber and slowly begin to change-until today, some see it morphing into a tiger. So what does the twenty-first century hold for India? Will it bring the strength of the tiger and the size of an elephant to bear upon the world? Or will it remain an elephant at heart? In this companion volume to the bestselling India: From Midnight to the Millennium and Beyond, Shashi Tharoor analyses the forces that have made twenty-first century India and could yet unmake it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"425\" data-end=\"448\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"450\" data-end=\"688\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"18\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eShashi Tharoor\u003c\/strong\u003e is an acclaimed Indian author, diplomat, and politician.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eHe served as the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and is a Member of Parliament in India.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eTharoor has authored numerous books, including \u003cem data-start=\"47\" data-end=\"71\"\u003eThe Great Indian Novel\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem data-start=\"76\" data-end=\"96\"\u003eAn Era of Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eHis works often explore themes of Indian identity, history, and global politics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best of used books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45156760387770,"sku":"2IBYSKYPU-Used","price":19.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5576\/0826\/files\/AmitavGhosh12.jpg?v=1758036957","url":"https:\/\/clappingpages.com\/products\/copy-of-the-elephant-the-tiger-and-the-cellphone","provider":"Clapping Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
