What Young India Wants
Every morning, India wakes up to brand new stories of scams, corruption, rape , child deaths and suicide by students or farmers. Over the years, we've grown so used to this kind of news that we've stopped caring, if not demur at the crunch in some kind- especially the youth.
What Young India Wants plunges into some of the main issues in India with a "youth's eye-view"(which is the reason why Chetan Bhagat appeals to the youngsters..!) and examine the glitches and dishes out some antidotes to the mammoth problems of corruption, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment.

The Youth-My favourite part of the book. As far as India is concerned, the youth of the country is what matters- The
