One of the best books I have read this year . A powerful , bold and honestly-written book, it points many gaping and evident flaws made by the early Indian governance and the Nehru - Gandhi family. It infuriates you to read that so much injustice , unfairness and discontentment could have been easily done away with if only the so-called leaders had chosen to be sensible. It is indeed quite a shame that India , having had such a rich and exotic heritage has had to and is still facing the wrath of poverty illiteracy and corruption. So much could have been done and almost nothing was done to bring about good governance. This narrative brings to mind the grave mistakes dynastic democracy presents and it quite sad that we still haven't learnt from our mistakes. Having read this journal, it sometimes makes you question , that was the country left to rot , on purpose ? True , this book has been slightly biased ,and the anger of Ms. Singh can be occasionally noticed,but it can be completely overlooked. What she has presented is by far a very riveting , bold and passionate book baring the honest and brutal truth about the elite family. I loved the way it ended - It was with Rajiv that it all began!
