India Direly Needs Democracy And Democratic Governance

Books by Dr. Triyugi Prasad

Conditions prevailing in contemporary India, particularly related to its political and socioeconomic situation are far from encouraging, if not outright depressing. Open horse trading of elected representatives of people for formation of governments, blatant misuse of governmental power for partisan politics and pervasive corruption in the government at all levels make one think what kind of governance India has even after more than seven decades of declaring

The author of this book, Dr. Triyugi Prasad was born in a remote village in Eastern UP and received his education up to graduation in Civil Engineering in Bihar (Patna University) and post-graduation from the then Roorkee University. He joined teaching profession rather than being a government engineer. On a Govt. of India scholarship, he prosecuted four-year doctoral studies in Water Resources Engineering at the Univ. of Illinois, USA. Forsaking the offer of a teaching position at a USA University, he returned to India and to his home state of Bihar the economy of which remains shattered by water resources problems and the possible resolution of which may bring immense benefits. His conviction was further reinforced by his experiences of research and training at Moscow State University and at Harvard University as well as his technical visits to the TVA in the USA and several European and Chinese establishments. Despite this, he was baffled by the utter indifference of the political decision makers to the distinct feasibility of transforming Bihar and its adjoining regions from poverty to prosperity. From Dr. Prasad’s experiences of living in the U.S.A. for prolonged periods, both as a student and otherwise, and seeing at close quarters how governance in a real democracy works, he was convinced that the system of governance of India was gravely at fault for not resolving its long-standing problems of poverty, malnutrition, etc. and for not achieving its high potentiality commensurate with its natural and human resources. He was convinced that change of the system of governance is the crying need of India. He even set up a Forum for Change of the System of Governance of India at Patna and wrote a comprehensive note on this. The present book is based on this.
