Description
This book critically examines whether India's Independence truly led to cultural and social freedom or if a decline set in soon after. Structured around a verse from the Panchatantra, the book is divided into six sections—Eka (person), Kula (family), Grama (habitat), Janapada (land), Prithvi (earth), and Atma. It explores various socio-political issues, including education, class conflicts, religious tensions, governance challenges, consumerism, democracy, and the impact of Westernized modernity on traditional values. Through this analysis, the author presents a perspective on the pursuit of happiness through self-transcendence and a deeper understanding of dharma.
