Introduction

It is a proud feeling for me to publish and present the first edition of my book, India At A Glance. The book is being published through reputed publisher Partridge India. The book, which has hit the stands, has been written with an exceptionally optimistic outlook about India. There is no ill-intention to undermine or give any sweeping opinion about any Government or individual. If anything is allowed to happen that is due to circumstances prevailing at a particular time and customary ethical and moral values of countrymen.

Purpose and Focus

The issue raised and discussed in this book have been haunting me since long. I have tried to highlight all issues facing the country so that enlightened public may rise to the occasion and help resolve them to make India a country free from evils like corruption, nepotism, poverty, population explosion, communal intolerance, unemployment and under-employment etc.

The problems of the 20th century have continued in the current century as well. The endeavour of this book is to educate the students of all the educational institutions and disciplines, including competitive examinations, and persons who are interested in understanding the social, economic and political problems of India.
