About the Book

"This great doctrine [Panchsheel signed by Nehru] was born in sin, because it was enunciated to put the seal of our approval upon the destruction of an ancient nation [Tibet] which was associated with us spiritually and culturally... It was a nation which wanted to live its own life and it sought to have been allowed to live its own life..." -Acharya Kriplani "I hope I am not leaving you as cannon fodder for the Chinese. God bless you all." -India's army chief KS Thimayya in his farewell speech in 1961 "Things went so wrong [in India-China War] that had they not happened it would have been difficult to believe them." -S Gopal, Nehru's official biographer "Poor countries are poor because those who have power make choices that create poverty." Such countries develop "extractive" institutions that "keep poor countries poor." -Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson in 'Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty' (Nehru laid foundations of EXTRACTIVE INSTITUTIONS that have been the root of India remaining a poor, third-rate third-world nation.) "A young man who isn't a socialist hasn't got a heart; an old man who is a socialist hasn't got a head." -David Lloyd George The term "Hindu rate of growth" is highly inappropriate and unfair, besides being derogatory. The low rate of growth was thanks to Nehruvian policies. Therefore the appropriate term should have been the "Nehruvian rate of growth" or the "Socialistic rate of growth." ---------------------------------------- Foundations of Misery goes into the details of the background, history and particulars of the Integration of the Indian States; Kashmir: BCE to 1950s; Tibet: Erasing a Nation; Himalayan Misadventure (India-China War); The Sinhala & the Tamils (On Sri-Lankan Tamil Problem); India's Self-Inflicted Poverty; Socialism, Babudom & Corruption; Being Foreign to Foreign Policy (Disastrous Policies on External Affairs); Ill-informed Internal Policies; Mental & Cultural Slavery; Distortion of History & Cultural Heritage; Dynacracy (Dynastic Democracy), and so on. The book attempts to unravel the mystery and the truth in-depth on why India remains a poor, pathetic, third-rate, third-world country. How's it that India got so left behind? What was it that India did, or did not do, after independence, that everything is so abysmal and pathetic. Why an overwhelming majority of millions of Indians continue to be condemned to a life of unmitigated misery. What are the foundations of this misery? And why all this unmitigated misery despite the overwhelming advantage of India as a nation with first-rate people, plentiful natural resources, grand civilisational heritage, rich culture and languages, unmatched ethical and spiritual traditions, and relatively much better position in all fields-infrastructure, trained manpower, bureaucracy, army-at the time of independence compared to many east-Asian nations who have since overtaken us. Why did India fail to leverage such rich assets of a gifted country? Incidents, information and revelations that would shock common readers and would make them exclaim: 'Oh God, was this so? I didn't know!' Not that the facts or revelations are new, only they are not commonly known. There are significant differences between my this book and my other book 'Nehru's 97 Major Blunders'. Each serves a different purpose, and one is NOT a substitute, or a summary, for the other. 'Nehru's 97 Major Blunders' has a much wider coverage on blunders, but does not go into the details and history like this book does.
