“When we see the problems\n related to political leadership, population growth, education, the media and\n religion going from bad to worse, a natural question comes up in our minds.\n Where, after all, did we go wrong? What happened during our democratic journey\n of independent India that we are faced with nasty problems on all these\n fronts? Why couldn’t we teach people occupying places of responsibility that\n rights are given to perform your genuine duties, not to serve your personal\n whims, false ego and greed?”It is the author’s firm belief that if the\n problems related to the above five fundamental issues continue to be as they\n are, the nation will be hit by a crisis of unimaginable proportions, our\n national edifice would crumble and everything that our leaders had valued and\n held sacred for the love of the country before independence, would be lost\n forever. So, the author, through a deep-seated and thought provoking\n commentary on these issues invites you to think along with him and ponder\n over them honestly and sincerely. While going through the book, you may come\n across points where you differ with the author but in the end, you will be\n convinced that to make our country ideal, the need is for a wider awakening\n on the issues as discussed in the book.
