Both ancient and modern, India remains a paradox. With 356 million 10 to 24 year olds, it has the world’s largest youth population. Poised on the cusp of change, its potential for economic growth and development is counterbalanced by social and economic divides, the challenges of urbanization, and the legacy of a colonial past. A panel comprised of academic and author Amitava Kumar, writer and journalist Mihir Sharma, satirist and graphic novelist Sarnath Banerjee and business editor Rahul Jacob contemplate and discuss the hopes, fears and aspirations of a billion and a quarter people.
