Summary

What does it mean to be Indian ? Or rather, what is it like to be a manager in India ? In India, which, in Westerners' eyes, remains shrouded in hazy mystery, it seems impossible to isolate any one factor, such as the country's history, from other factors, such as the innate prejudices and the realities of an important and political economic power, which elevates it to global proportions with its population of one billion people. Professor Chhokar carried out a detailed and pragmatic study on the subject of leadership in an attempt to explain and understand this country which occupies a dominant place in the 21st century.
