In this book – published posthumously – Arun Jaitley offers the clearest, most authoritative discussions on the policies of the BJP government of 2014–19. Surveying the sweeping changes that the country witnessed during that period – GST, demonetization, Kashmir – he is also prescient about the big political trends in the country, such as the end of dynastic politics, the fissures among regional powers, and the crisis in the Congress party.

Forcefully and astutely argued, A New India is an important book, one that comprehensively maps and explains the BJP’s reforms and analyses the state of the nation.
