This is a must-read book for all Indians so that the Fight against Corruption is waged with courage based on conviction by a new crop of transformational leaders who can steer the course of the nation on a pragmatic path to realize its full potential with equity.
The author has made a bold attempt to provide many faces of corruption for the readers to reach a balanced view of the ongoing concerns of civil society activists. Not only does his review of theoretical aspects of corruption provide a framework, but the list of scandals and scams provide hard evidence of the growth of corruption during the past 64 years.
Every single section provides insights in a broad outline and provides a sound basis for understanding the course India is traversing.
