Book Description
This book, authored by a well-known development professional, Moin Qazi, gives those who care about India a chance to brainstorm their ideas for making India a place of equal opportunities and democratised development. The active representatives of NGOs, philanthropies, multi-and-bi-lateral agencies, activists, thinkers, academics and all fellow travellers on the road to helping India progress – whether students, professionals or retired individuals. From the public sector, we invite government officials, development administrators and implementing agencies. When entrusted with the levers of power, all political parties assured everyone they would prepare a roadmap for lasting strategies to alleviate the issues of the marginalised sections. However, it has always remained unclear whether they resolve these issues sincerely. The reality of the outcome is known to everyone. This book reminds everyone who has worked out assurances and promises to end the plight of various sections of the suffering population. Though the book’s contents may sound slightly dull, the author has tried to make it a candid, plain-spoken, engaging and gripping memoir. It is a propulsive account of India’s rural politics, economics, and sociology. The author has garnished his book with swashbuckling stories of adventure among the rural zealots and explores the underbelly of village culture. He highlights a side of him that often gets eclipsed by his image as a zealous partisan — that of the caring rural crusader who focuses on empowering the female population. Devastating as this elegant and honest account maybe — it’s certainly not for the faint of heart — it also leaves the reader with a sense of knowing a lovely and lively career in India’s hinterland.
