About this title

Synopsis

This book takes a deep-dive into the current domain of Indian politics and pre-empts the course the young republic will take in decades to come. In its format, the authors interview many prominent young and dynamic politicians in India-below the age of 50-from across the country and the vast political parties' spectrum. The exercise taps into their brand of politics; local, national, and global concerns; challenges and goals, as well as the political future each of them imagines for their constituencies and the country. The interviews include those from Priyanka Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, Omar Abdullah, Aditya Thakeray etc.
