India to be a global power

Vasant Sathe has been a visionary of the cosmic drama from his childhood. His hobby has been to observe the ever expanding universe with its millions of stars, galaxies, supernovas and black holes, stretching millions of light years.

This perspective, has given Vasant a rational outlook, where he believes that a personalized God or Gods are a creation of the human mind and there is no possibility of such a creator. He believes that human beings should only believe in goodness to conduct themselves in life.

A lawyer and advocate, he has practised at the High Court and the Supreme Court. He has been an active trade union leader and has held several ministerial portfolios in the cabinets of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. Mr. Sathe has used his experience in Parliament and as a minister in the Union Cabinet to write eight books, dealing mainly with India's problems of development.

This book is a compilation of Vasant Sathe's writings during the course of all the years he has been a public figure. It consists of four chapters, viz. Universal Vision, Political Stability, Economic Self Reliance and Social Reforms. He has dedicated this book to the leaders of the younger generation, in the hope that they may find some of his ideas useful.
