...just a mature democracy but a vibrant, fast-growing economy. The world has come to know a new India over the past few years, a place of outsourcing and hi-tech start-ups, of software engineers and steel barons. We expect such places to be shiny and secular and scientific, focused on technological breakthroughs and making money. We don't expect religious riots and communal clashes and bombings.

He used to spend his time in Washington, but now his tech work takes him to Silicon Valley, to the campuses of Apple and Google, where his kind of intellectual firepower is celebrated.

...turns out, though, "Rise Up" is far more despicable as an idea than as a song. It's a ballad of course, and opens with a sample of a female Tech student saying how the school must be known not for what happened but for overcoming what happened. It also features the inevitable whispering choir whose volume rises in the chorus and gets punctuated by a cymbal clap...
