Games Indians Play
Indians perplex the world. Brilliant yet bewildering, we're a contradiction wrapped in complexity. V. Raghunathan takes on the fascinating puzzle of our national character using game theory and behavioural economics as his analytical tools. What emerges is a candid exploration of the paradoxes that define us: our strange dance between reason and impulse, between giving and taking, between working together and working against each other. Through everyday examples drawn from how we actually live, work, and interact, this book reveals something striking. Whether you're navigating business, politics, bureaucracy, or simply getting through daily life, the maths suggests the same counterintuitive truth. Self-restraint pays better dividends than recklessness. Fairness, surprisingly, serves your interests. Cooperation beats the alternative, even when self-interest calls the shots. It's a bracing look at who we are and, perhaps more importantly, who we might choose to become.
