Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
This book offers distinctly original and practical solutions to some major socio-economic problems confronting India today. In the first chapter, the author highlights the traditional fault lines in the conventional concept of the poverty line and also presents an alternative to it. What follows in the next chapter is his massive sledgehammer of a strategy, made of deep socio-economic insight, a real concern for the poor and a sense of socio-economic justice for all, to smash down the tall walls of the prison of poverty, in which millions of Indian households continue to languish for their ‘unpardonable crime’ of having no practical means to come out of it on their own.
Then he goes on to highlight and address the inability of the State to exploit the massive economic potential embodied in the massive prison population of the country, the global phenomenon of gold accumulation and aggrandizement and the extravagant practices of Hinduism in chapters three, four and five, respectively.
In the last chapter, which has also been reviewed by TOCIC, IIT Kharagpur and revised accordingly, he offers a distinctly ingenious digital framework for serving as a watertight deterrent against speeding and, therefore, significantly reducing the incidence of speeding-driven accidents and, by extension, the massive loss of lives
and economic resources resulting therefrom.
Wangba Senjam
Wangba Senjam, aged 35, born and bred in Manipur, is an independent researcher. Having embarked on a multidisciplinary research and authorship project under the title of ENVISIONING A BETTER INDIA,
he has recently completed its Volume One in the form of ECONOMICS WITH A HUMAN FACE.
Until recently, he was pursuing a advanced management programme under IIM Bangalore but had to drop out midstream through force of circumstance. Though he has already had a solemn but partial stint of studying and researching economics under the School of Social Sciences, IGNOU, and is also an ardent
lover of the ‘dismal science’, which he has studied quite extensively, even if, admittedly, mostly in a self-education mode, he does not claim or consider himself to be an economist by profession, irrespective of the title of this book, ECONOMICS WITH A HUMAN FACE.
In the next volume, tentatively entitled UNDOING THE UNJUST ECONOMICS OF JUSTICE IN INDIA, he will be dealing with justice, especially by factoring in the low-visibility but unjust aspects of its prevailing economics, and also offering some technology-driven out-of-the-box solutions to the increasingly challenging problems plaguing the country’s judicial system. So let us hope for a good book on the problems of the Indian judicial system by someone who has not only witnessed its actual operations ‘from close quarters’ but also encountered a multitude of woes himself in going through the process of justice.
