Almost sixty years ago, Nehru spoke of India's tryst with destiny at the dawn of Independence. In the Constitution of the new republic that was framed a few years later, the goals and values of that vision were unfolded. How far have we progressed since then and what is it that destiny now holds for tomorrow's India? The present volume of essays surveys the scene past-forward and paints a picture of what has been accomplished and what remains to be done. It has been widely forecast that within thirty years India, together with the United States and China, will constitute the three largest economies in the world. The wellsprings of growth are there. However, as more than one author points out, mere economic and technological growth is not enough. In this globalizing world, the market is not all. The citizen must march hand in hand with the consumer in a sharing and caring society. The twenty-four essayists who write of "Tomorrow's India" do so in celebration of the 125th anniversary of their alma mater, Delhi's St Stephen's College.
