Hardcover. Zustand: New. A NATION BETWIXT AND BETWEEN India, the world's largest democracy, the land of yoga, spirituality and a rich civilizational past, has one of the youngest demographics and is without a doubt an exciting place to be in the twenty-first century. Our nation, at the same time, struggles with the rising gap between the rich and the poor, ignorance, social unrest and strained communal harmony. One is always overwhelmed and bewildered by its contradictions, wondering at the many Indias that coexist as an effervescent mix despite such unique diversity. As the country navigates its way into the new millennium, a question often asked is, 'Are we moving in the right direction?' Even more important is the question of who is qualified to comment on it. Over the last forty years, Captain Gopinath has donned a variety of hats. As an army officer, aviation pioneer, entrepreneur, farmer, politician and, above all, a concerned citizen, he brings a unique perspective to issues that concern our nation. In Our India, the eclectic range of Captain Gopinath's views on business, politics, governance, aviation and society portrays a comprehensive picture of an India which is reshaping every minute. Honest, brave and thought-provoking, this is a book for every engaged citizen of our nation.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Captain G.R. Gopinath is an unusual industry leader. Whether it was setting up Air Deccan to get train travellers in the air or jumping into the fray of Indian politics, Gopinath does not merely put his money where his mouth is - he takes his mouth to the scene of action.Unsurprisingly then, he has been an active and provocative columnist down the years. Nothing is off the table for him, not business rivals, nor political bosses. He meditates on yoga and farming, on caste and religion, he tears down the flaws in Indian aviation policy and he snipes at politicians who play Indians for their votes. He is honest about corruption, he is angry at the system and he is a believer in the power of entrepreneurship.Gopinath's is a brave and important voice in Indian business and media. You Cannot Miss This Flight is a selection of his writings in the past decade and a bit. As thought-provoking as they are delightful, these essays capture the breadth of Captain Gopinath's interests and the depth of his commitment.
