Our Time Has Come: How India is Making Its Place in the World by Alyssa Ayres Book Review by Raj Shah, Managing Editor, Desh-Videsh

n 2015, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to ASEAN world leaders and said, “Our democratic values and an alert judicial system ensure the safety of your investments. Most of the ASEAN economies have done their bit for Asia’s resurgence. Now, it is India’s turn. And we know that our time has come.”
In the book Our Time Has Come, Ms. Alyssa Ayres, Senior Fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations, writes about this speech and it seems like she used this as inspiration for her newest book title.
India is now on track to become the world’s third-largest economy at market exchange rates over the next fifteen years.
