Do seatbelt laws save lives in India? What was the real reason for the BJP’s defeat in the 2004 election? Why did Nehru ignore the Chinese threat in 1962 and how does this relate to why people risk their lives to cross railway tracks in Mumbai? Using the tools of economics, and borrowing from such fields as psychology and anthropology, Indianomix presents new angles to old mysteries, to argue that when you dig down into the deeper mechanisms, India makes sense after all
