Translating blue print on the ground. Appendix. Index. The Soul and Structure of Governance in India is a path breaking work of a profound thinker who has the practical experience of having served the nation as Lt. Governor/Governor for about ten years Member of Parliament for about fourteen years and Union Cabinet Minister for about five and a half years. The book builds up against the backdrop of history and contemporary events both national and international a case for an ethical state and ethical governance machinery which rest upon three main foundational planks a rekindled mind a reawakened soul and a set of redesigned and revitalized institutions. It underlines that such a state and such a governance machinery alone can enable India to attain its full potential and if it fails to do so it could soon find itself writing another grammar of anarchy adding another inglorious chapter to its history of about one thousand years of darkness. The author underlines The task of implementing the blueprint is a formidable one. It would call for courage commitment insight historical perspective and creative and constructive powers of the highest order the order to which post 1947 leadership has so far come nowhere near. Today a truly historic challenge stares us in the face. Jagmohan concludes by making an impassioned plea Let history not condemn us. Let us not be written about as unworthy people who did not have the perception to see the challenge or having seen it did not know how to tackle it. Let it not be said that we were hollow men and women who were made of poor clay who nursed shallowness like a treasure who made only pompous declarations who betrayed a great heritage who invariably opted for soft options and left dangerous infections in the roots unattended. Let it on the other hand be recorded that we were aware of our potential and strained every nerve to use it to the full. The worst verdict of history could be that we did not even attempt to set our fundamentals right and solve problems of far reaching consequences for our future. 516 pp. Seller Inventory # 55794
