Read Book Review

'Best', the word alarms your mind about a claim of hyperbole. We might, as well dodge the content that claims being 'best'. True, there's an overdo of this word; which brings in the indignation on the table. But hold on for a while and think, ain't we generalising the fact? Isn't the real essence of the 'best', is getting blurred away down the line? No, we ain't some kind of advocates or proponents of the whole 'best' campaign. Just & simply a peruser of book; who like the word 'best' tagged along the books, that helps us select the authentic 'best books' for our bookshelves!

Connotation of the reading and books, has been preached over the centuries. And that would perpetually flow over the next centuries to come. But to a reader's heart, it will never get stodgy or mundane. The readers community love the smell of 'best books' and 'best selling books'.

Through his book he expresses his agitation over the lack of systematic medical facility, education system, children & nourishment, proper sanitation and better public services for masses in India. He emphasizes investment on the improvisation and understanding the benefit of providing quality social infrastructure for masses which will felicitate true democracy.

The book is the outcome of the Authors outrage, that despite democracy, why millions of Indians live so wretched.
