Description

ABOUT THE BOOK

Our Indian Civilization is one of the most ancient civilizations in the world. It is to our credit that despite the innumerable invasions and destruction, we have managed to retain the main fabric of our national culture. No matter where we are, no matter who we are, we must not forget the power of faith in God. People of all religions should come together for a better India. It’s about time India attained the position of a Vishwa Guru-a World Leader who doesn’t shy away from going back to its roots and embracing a holistic life style. All these issues have been covered under 8 chapters of the book.
