Authored by a committed and inquiring researcher, it analyses the factors responsible for the ramshackled state of affairs in the country today as a result of many a malaise - misgovernance, dwindling economy, corrup tion, industrial failure, to name a few. Taking up various areas for focused study, like India's resources, political administration, economic growth, development programmes at various levels and impact of globalisation, it examines the mistakes made in the past partly because of ignorance and partly because of selfish motives in approach, strategies adopted, execution of plans and programmes and evaluation. Giving vital facts and figures garnered through intense research, the work points out how and why India lags behind in rural development, population control, reform of education, water management, disaster management, power generation, tourism, environmental issues, and reform of police and judiciary and of defense services, and presents insightful and thought-provoking suggestions on how the situation can be remedied. It has also attempted to provide solutions to addressing problems in the NE states and the Kashmir issue. Owing to the nature of the subject here discussed and the author's unique holistic approach and original perspectives in addressing issues, the book will interest a large range of readers keen to watch India progress. They will feel as if the author is talking about them and is concerned for their well-being. Its fluent style of writing makes it all the more appealing.
