This book, which serves as a manifesto for the recent anti-graft agitation led by Anna Hazare, gives practical suggestions as to what the ordinary citizen, the opinion makers and the political establishment in India can do to provide a political alternative, or to achieve true swaraj, or self-rule. The author’s central point is that power must shift from New Delhi and the state capitals to the village councils and the town communities, so that people can be directly empowered to take decisions about their own lives.
