Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jwala - The Flame That Builds a NationA father's conversations with his children about India's futureIt started, as the best questions always do, with something a nine-year-old wasn't supposed to ask.In a Moscow winter, thousands of miles from home, Sasha and Jo - eleven and nine, endlessly curious, allergic to easy answers - cornered their father with the kind of question no parent can answer in one sentence: why isn't India the country it should be He didn't have a quick answer.

It's a father discovering, one impossible question at a time, that his kids might be onto something: a nation doesn't move forward by getting better at answering the questions it already knows how to ask.

The answers come next - in Part Two.…
