印度提出了一个大规模的发展难题。60年的选举民主，30年的快速增长，以及一些世界级的机构（如技术研究所或选举委员会），导致人们谈论印度是与美国和中国结盟的超级大国。然而，在许多方面，印度的人类福祉指标（例如，营养不良、免疫接种）的水平与撒哈拉以南非洲贫穷得多的国家相当或更低。以出勤率、绩效和腐败等基本指标衡量国家的行政能力，揭示了一个潜在的“摇摇欲坠的国家”，其制定的出色政策与当地的现实脱节。这篇评论文章的艾德吕斯的在不顾众神试图阐明的难题，是现代印度和提出问题的发展轨迹的一个国家的命运将塑造我们的世纪。
India poses a development puzzle on a grand scale. Sixty years of electoral democracy, thirty years of rapid growth, and a number of world class institutions (such as the Institutes of Technology or Election Commission) have led to talk of India as a superpower in a league with the United States and China. Yet, on many fronts, India's indicators of human well-being (e.g., malnutrition, immunization) are at, or below, those of much poorer sub-Saharan African countries. Measures of the administrative capacity of the state on basics like attendance, performance, and corruption reveal a potentially "flailing state" whose brilliantly formulated policies are disconnected from realities on the ground. This review essay of Ed Luce's In Spite of the Gods attempts to articulate the puzzle that is modern India and pose questions about the development trajectory of a country whose fortunes will shape our century.
