India in Chaos, Only Judiciary Can Save by K.C. Agrawal is a work of research. It tells of the many reasons about why India is still in a poor state for its people, even after 71 years of independence. The author attempts to find the core reason for every problem that India is facing. He also provides solutions for those issues. Agrawal believes that the judiciary is the one way to set the country on a prosperous path.
There are three parts to this book. The first two parts focus on the issues plaguing the country and the reasons why they occurred. The third part is a guideline that the author provides to assist in India’s healing. Through extensive research, Agrawal tries to diagnose India’s troubles and find cures for them. The judiciary is the final authority when it comes to executing the parts of the Constitution. This is why Agrawal is under the impression that the judiciary is the key to fixing India’s problems.
This book was a very informative read. It’s clear that Agrawal did thorough research for this book. I could also see just how deeply the matters of India touched him. His passion shone through every page of this novel. Agrawal also provides his readers with many visuals throughout the book to give readers a better understanding of the extent to India’s problems. Additionally, there is an index and a list of definitions for the terms that he used. This book was very straightforward and even blunt at times. However, it seemed necessary in order to drive the problems and solutions home to the readers. I have no doubt that anyone from or living in India will find truth while reading Agrawal’s novel.
The only issue that I had with this book was the grammatical mistakes. It didn’t take me long to find ten errors. They were pretty consistent through the entire book. Most of the mistakes were missing punctuation marks. One example is on page 59. It reads, “Lack of infrastructure too is a compulsion to mobilize funds through disinvestments and FDIs.” I would definitely suggest another round of editing. This book is a very powerful read, and it would be a shame for careless mistakes like that to hold it back from its potential.
Overall, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. It was a very educational experience. I learned a lot from reading this book. It's very well-researched, and the author’s passion made it all the more engaging. However, I could not ignore the number of mistakes that it had, so I cannot give it a perfect rating. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to do some research on a different country. I would especially recommend it to people from India, since a book like this would definitely hit home for them. I wouldn’t recommend it to those who find these types of books boring.
