        Addressing a public lecture on 'Why is India the most interesting country in the world?' organised by Landmark and literary publishers Picador India, the writer said, 'the country is a pluralistic country with cultural diversity and standard rule of law with profusion of religious crafts'.

        Guha said the India was going through a robust transformation. The first and foremost change in the Indian economy is in the realm of economy.

        From agricultural sector it took a quick transformation to industrial sector. In case of human settlement it got shifted from a village- based society to a city-based society, he said. Further from a colonised civilisation to a individual set- up and finally from a hierachial society to a democratic set- up, he added.

        Guha who briefed about his book India after Gandhi-the history of the world's largest democracy said the book highlights the pain and the struggle, the humiliations and the glories of the world's largest democracy country.
