The volume looks into certain critical issues challenging India in the present and its future prospects. It ponders over the question as to what holds back India from utilising its rich resources and emerging as a shining model of democracy in the world. With case studies, it takes up crucial concerns like the black economy, the State giving in to business houses and marginalisation of sections of the population. It examines internal security and police reform, judicial reforms, electoral reform, India’s investment in science and technology and vital environmental issues. It delves into the impact of criminalisation of politics and mounting corruption. Referring to developments vis-à-vis India and its neighbours, scrutinising economic data and quoting the perspectives of India’s leaders in the past, it takes up specific sectors like the energy sector, water issues, ensuring food security and commercialisation of education.
