A Citizen's Manifesto

The 642 pages book, A Citizen's Manifesto ¿ A ray of hope, by Mike Rana caters to the need of information for students, teachers, citizens, leaders, managers, and budding politicians. It gives a kaleidoscopic perspective on the social, political and economic life of our citizens. Forty years of socialistic post-independence governance followed by twenty years with liberalised economy has given India a mixed bag of results. The Indian system is now poised for some bold steps in governance for tackling the four major issues of a growing nation, population, education, poverty and corruption. A Citizen's Manifesto is a condensed reflection of how 'disciplined democracy' is perceived by the citizens of India. A 26-page manifesto of a mock up political party, gives a good overview of what the politicians need to do for the citizens.
