"This book examines India-America relations during the period 1942-1962 and critically examines the orthodoxy that assigns a limited role to America in shaping the imagination of post-colonial India. The author examines the role of American ideas, experts, funds, international relations and strategy in shaping India's social, economic and educational institutions.
