It discusses a wide range of topics like [[caste]], [[democracy in India]], [[Indira Gandhi]], the [[partition of India]], and its transition from a [[Socialism|socialist economy]] to a [[free market economy]].<br /> <br /> Shashi Tharoor argues compellingly that India stands at the intersection of the most significant questions facing the world at the end of the twentieth century.&lt;ref name=&quot;Tharoor site&quot;&gt;{{cite web|author=|year=|title=India: From Midnight to Millennium|publisher=tharoor.in|accessdate=2011-11-11|url=http://tharoor.in/books/india-from-midnight-to-the-millenium/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111123012201/http://tharoor.in/books/india-from-midnight-to-the-millenium/|archive-date=23 November 2011|url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref&gt; If [[democracy]] leads to inefficient political infighting, should it be sacrificed in the interest of economic well-being?
