Book Summary

Anticipating India is a powerful compilation of Sh­ekhar Gupta’s National Interest columns, written over two decades across The Indian Express and India Today. Through roughly 900 insightful essays, Gupta dissects India's evolving political, economic, and societal landscape—from the Vajpayee era to the rise of Modi, the emergence of regional forces like Kejriwal, and the shifting fortunes of metropolises like Delhi and Mumbai . These columns amalgamate on-the-ground reporting, deep insider access, and sharp analysis, serving as “real-time views from the spectator’s gallery”. Organized thematically, the book connects the dots—showing how leadership decisions, public moods, and institutional changes shape modern India’s arc

A Padma Bhushan recipient (2009), Gupta built his reputation through frontline reporting on critical events like Operation Blue Star, the Nellie massacre, Gulf War, Tiananmen protests, and the 9/11 aftermath . He also hosted NDTV’s acclaimed Walk the Talk, interviewing over 600 political and cultural figures . His National Interest column—translated into multiple Indian languages—is known for its thoughtful questioning of power, unconventional insights, and fearless narrative. Anticipating India distills these strengths, making Gupta’s forty-year journalistic journey a vivid portrait of a nation's transformation
