The notional loss to the exchequer was a whopping Rs 1.76 lakh crore. Yet, it was no aberration. The 2G story is rooted in the very fabric of economic reforms in India reforms that are essential for the growing economy. When Pradip Baijal took over as the third chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India in 2003, the telecom sector was in serious crisis. But there was also resistance to the reforms he sought to implement. They were seen as both antiestablishment and proprivate business. Baijal fought for the reforms at great personal cost, and years later, the accused in the 2G scam blamed him for creating conditions conducive to malpractices. A Bureaucrat Fights Back: The Complete Story of Indian Reforms uses the 2G story to analyse the roadblocks to change in India. Intensely personal and deeply political, the book is an inquiry into the best and worst of India's economic coming of age."--Back cover.
