The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World by S. JaishankarMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hooter: Coffee Table conversations of how India should navigate the world
Rarely do you see someone in a position of power writing about current affairs - generally tend to be memoirs so this collection of essays / thoughts by S. Jaishankar provide a probe into his thoughts on contemporary affairs that India needs to navigate.
Relating it with Indian scriptures / concepts , he does take a stab at storytelling but most of the writing are thoughts spouted out without giving us - the reader- the background, the research or the story to explain the why. This is where it becomes dry like a press release on contemporary affairs without too much of context. Maybe thats the reason why we find memoirs more fulfilling and enlightening for people have a lot more freedom on what they can share and say rather than being on the driving wheel still.
I am looking forward to this memoirs when he possibly gets to open up a lot more.
