• provides a comprehensive yet forward-looking coverage of economic issues,
• includes political and social aspects and draws on policymaker and market-participant perspectives,
• brings to the fore the various aspects of India's performance that now attract global attention, and
• debates the relative importance of external factors compared to domestic reforms.
