From two of India's leading economists, Jean Dreze and Nobel Prize-winner Amartya Sen, An Uncertain Glory is a passionate, considered argument for the need for a greater understanding of inequalities in India. Dreze and Sen argue that the country's main problems lie in the disregarding of the essential needs of the people.
