Book Summary
Games Indians Play by V. Raghunathan is a thought-provoking book that delves into the behavioral patterns, strategic thinking, and decision-making styles of Indians, drawing parallels between these traits and the games people play in their everyday lives. The book is both a psychological exploration and a cultural analysis, examining how traditional Indian games, as well as modern societal "games," reflect deeper aspects of Indian life.
Raghunathan uses the concept of "games" metaphorically to explore how people interact, negotiate, and maneuver through personal, professional, and social landscapes. He draws insights from a variety of Indian games like chess, carrom, and even more traditional village games, linking them to real-life scenarios involving power dynamics, strategy, and interpersonal relationships.
The book is structured to highlight different types of games, such as competitive games, cooperative games, and zero-sum games, providing both theoretical frameworks and real-life examples.
