About the Book: State of the Nation: Democracy Governance and Parliament
State of the Nation Democracy, Governance and Parliament, reminds us of the
true meaning of good governance and what democracy entails. Subhash Kashyap also
details practices and protocols followed in the Indian Parliament and the
deviations and aberrant behaviour of legislators noting what their actual duties
are and ought to be. The author also brings out in a series of biographical
sketches his encounters with some remarkable parliamentarians during his long
tenure in the Parliament. His essays on value-based education, included in his
book, encourage the nurturing of democratic values that are syncretic with
Indias Constitution
