A 20 Million Billion Trillion Dollar Loss: The Story Of India's Downslide Since Independence

The book deals with India's contemporary history of more than six decades since her independence in 1947 to the present day. It describes all the relevant events from economic, political, social and cultural perspectives. The world knows India to be an emerging economic giant because of her recent GDP growth. But, behind this robust growth, lies the real India which is poor, illiterate and backward, suffering from the evils of wide-spread corruption, nepotism and familocracy due to the wrong policies followed by Indian politicians since Nehru. The government made some half-hearted attempts for improving the people's lot, but there was not much success. This is why the narrative is called the story of downslide. And this downslide has resulted collectively in an inconceivably colossal loss.
