This book presents a definitive, analytical and candid account of the present state of the Indian nation, in the context of her constitution. Mainly focusing on the tidal wave of corruption that has engulfed virtually all institutions of the state and almost all aspects of governance, it analyses why the elected representatives have failed in providing for the welfare of the people.

It also discusses at length the concept of the Indian nation, India’s experiment with unity amidst diversity, the implications of reservation, the true purpose and significance of a constitution, centre-state relations, and whether or not the constitution has truly benefited the common people.
