Book Review: View from the outside

A view from the outside - By P.Chidambaram (FM of india)

This is another Good book i recently read. I recommend this to anyone with interest in politics and economics. It is surely worth your time.

Our FM proves it to you by this book, that he is not just another politician. He is not one of those for sure. He proves to you what a Harvard degree can do to a politician. After reading this book, you will wish that all politicians have foresight and wisdom like this man. I did.

This book is a compilation of the articles that he wrote in the "Indian Express", when BJP was in power and when congress was an opposition party. He is not afraid of commenting Congress party, when they make mistakes. He is not reluctant in congratulating the BJP when they do something good. Even though he is in Congress, he praises the good deeds by Vajpayee.

This book is an enlightenment, if you have no idea about what is going on in Indian politics and in the Indian form of government. A very good book.

But one thing is hard for me to digest. The author explains the various forms of bad governance in India. True, i agree all that he is saying. But i wonder, why nothing has changed even when they are in power?

Well, that is the beauty of Indian politics, isn't it?
