阿南德·格里哈拉达斯 作者的父母曾是印度人，后移民到美国并定居。他毕业于密歇根大学，之后到达印度孟买，担任麦肯锡公司管理咨询师。2005年起担任《国际先驱论坛报》、《纽约时报》网站专栏作家，为其报道和撰写来自孟买的新闻，本书就是他多年观察和研究印度的深刻总结。

阿南德的父母在1970年代離開印度，前往美國追尋美國夢。可是作者阿南德2003年卻反其道而行飛回印度找工作機會。當飛機抵達孟買時，他在機上與一位當地的長者有了一段簡短的對談，長者得知阿南德有美國綠卡還回來印度工作時十分震驚。阿南德在《印度再造》一書中融合作者自己家族移民史與認同的追尋想要去找出印度重新於世界崛起背後的原因，以及國家發展背後所造成傳統文化的動盪與社會不同階層所面臨的挑戰與變化。印度是個非常謎樣的國家，一部份在IT產業、服務業與電影業上非常發達，卻又往往讓世人看到難以想像的貧民窟的生活。在阿南德的筆下，我們看到了創業家、企業家、激進份子、宗教追尋者等不同的故事，但最終最要的還是看到印度「家庭」所扮演的重要核心角色。這都是印度現代化中發人深省的故事。
