Whether it's a majority or a coalition? What can we do to better job prospects for India's youth? How can we create a more equal society? How do we create more world-class educational institutes? What can we do about social media warriors and trolls? In India Positive, bestselling author and columnist Chetan Bhagat brings together essays that work as a manifesto for change. Examining a gamut of subjects-from education to employment, from GST to infrastructure, from corruption to casteism-Bhagat reflects on what we can do right in order to move forward and become a truly modern, progressive country. He expresses in these pages his belief that, if we want to see reform, we-as citizens-need to be the solution. If our country is to shine, Bhagat says, we need to stand up and be 'India Positive Citizens'. In a world ridden with negativity, these simply written, perceptive and solution-driven essays are a must-read for anyone invested in the present and future of India.</span><br></p>
