Squaring the circle: Seven steps to Indian Renaissance

---

The success of the IT industry and Indian human resources in global enterprises have made India a wealthy country. Even as the wealth has grown, the inequality has widened and many scams have surfaced. These were a logjam in Parliament and civil movements against corruption created an atmosphere of anarchy and distrust. Amidst his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, Dr Abdul Kalam recalled the intellectual might wielded by Socrates against the rule of tyranny and he felt duty bound to express his concerns. Tony Judt's words, "something is profoundly wrong with the way we live today" haunted him and sparked the desire to write this book.
​Dr Kalam calls for an Indian Renaissance, which he describes in seven steps involving the common people of the land, and in particular, the youth. He urges people to arise out of servitude to a vested ruling class, awake from the slumber of a passive democracy and advance to manifest our dream of a developed nation. He recommends that by turning inward and listening to the voice of our conscience, we can live a virtuous life and thereby build a strong and secure India.
​Dr Kalam has teamed up once again with his friend Arun Tiwari, and through a series of dialogues presents complex concepts in a simple way. They have written candidly about the truth as they see it but with respect to other perspectives. The team of Wings of Fire returns with another inspirational book.
