2 "In one generation Indian-Americans had vaulted from geeky outsiders to polished players in all facets of American society."

3 Like we  learned in Gladwell's Outliers, the time period you are born into has vast consequences over your eventual fate. In the case, our hero, Rajat Gupta was born to the generation of the "twice blessed." That is to be born after Indian independence Aug 1947 and to be able to take advantage of Americas new immigration laws for Indians. Mr Gupta was in that wave of children that hit at just the right time.

19 Like America,  and at about the same time period, India had a greatest generation. They would have had to be to accomplish all they did.
