Received my copy. Will take me a while to read. Even longer to assimilate. But, nothing like rejoicing (albeit, vicariously) at a friend’s labour of love. Congratulations @CafeEconomics #Economics #IndianEconomy

Niranjan received your magnum opus. Adam Smith and Sant Tukaram! Exciting. Congratulations.

It is but natural that we celebrate the enabler, and here his expertise is second to none.

ps: If someone is traveling from India to the East Coast in the next few weeks, pls get me a copy!

Must Read.
