Ideas for India's future

India’s remarkable growth springs from a seismic shift in how its people, language, technology, and democracy are valued. The country is now the only young nation in an aging world, with over a billion citizens and a demographic dividend that could fuel prosperity. Yet many key ideas—like universal education and modern infrastructure—remain accepted but unrealized, held back by policy gridlock and slow reform. How India navigates these challenges will shape its destiny and influence global solutions to poverty and climate change.
