Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has an ambitious 100-day plan. Jason Overdorf and Sudip Mazumdar detail Singh’s bold domestic agenda in the current issue of Newsweek International. The “surprisingly decisive victory” for the Congress Party and Singh in last month’s election has raised expectations for India to realize its potential. While the leaders still face a “slothful political system,” bureaucratic hurdles and “entrenched interests,” this is an opportunity for reform. “This is more than Congress’s big chance; it is India’s. Failing to capitalize on it would be costly indeed, for the party, the country, and most of all, for its citizens.”
