Civil Society, April 2009
This book is worth is weight. Dinesh C Sharma tells us the fascinating story of the growth of India's IT sector from start to finish. He writes like a good journalist digging out heaps of unknown stories. Never does he bore the reader.
We get to know how the foundation of the IT boom was laid. Sharma takes us from the Nehru-Bhabha era to the Indira Gandhi years. Rajiv Gandhi's great contribution, of course, very big. He took technology to a new level by frocussing on its wider application. The growth of a ribust IT sector has a lot to do with state patronage and the importance government gave to building quality technical education.
