The last one-and-a-half years in India have been defined by the anti-graft agitation led by Anna Hazare. His key lieutenant Arvind Kejriwal has played a central role in the movement.
In 2012 as it became clear that the political establishment was not going to accede to the main demand of the movement - to pass the Lokpal Bill. Team Anna demanded the setting up of a Special Investigative Team to probe corrupt politicians. On 25 July 2012 Kejriwal along with two of his colleagues and Anna Hazare sat on a fast to press this demand.
This book which serves as a manifesto for the movement going forward gives practical suggestions as to what the ordinary citizen the opinion makers and the political establishment in India can do to provide a political alternative or to achieve true swaraj (self-rule).
The author's central point is that power must shift from New Delhi and the state capitals to the village councils and the town communities so that people can be directly empowered to take decisions about their own lives. A must-read for anyone with a dream to leave behind a better India for the next generation.
