The book brilliantly captures the dynamism and spirit underlying the buoyant of phenomenal economic growth and especially the eagerness of the youth to realize the dazzling vision of a developed India. The author adopts a lens that allows for multifaceted observation, systematically exploring why a great civilization failed and continues to fail, analyses the development potential and challenges, and models with profound sincerity and spontaneity the future- a novel perspective of India's development process: creating and managing systems, providing enabling environment that ensures citizen's active participation for success. An imaginatively composed tapestry of India's enigmatic past to the present development would certainly interest all and creatively engaging themselves in building the nation of our dreams, for accomplishing the Indian Dreams is our business.
