India today suffers from many stumbling blocks in the road
to progress. India’s multi-religious and multi-linguistic
population, caste and Jati systems, disputes arising from
geographic considerations like river water -sharing,
corruption, decline in values, unprecedented disparity in
incomes, poverty, lack of education; unemployment, health
care, insurgency, Maoist activities, etc. makes governance a
major challenge.
Our system of governance should have been evolved taking
into account the above factors. In practice, our constitution
has had little to do with the Indian population and Indian
conditions, resulting in serious problems in governance.
It is imperative that we form well-knit societies, which not
only collectively progress our citizens, but also help to curb
negative tendencies. India’s diversity demands re-creation of
suitable societies that can progress citizens, while retaining
homogeneous control of all the people.
The book examines all the issues in context of current
situation, analyses them and suggests appropriate solutions:
including reinventing the Varna system to keep abreast with
modern times.
Governance is a vast and complex issue, however this book
attempts to address the problems at hand and suggests the
way forward in a concise manner. There is still a lot to be
discussed, and your thoughts will help, so please visit the
