Fantasy Prime Minister |(Volume 2) : Tracing India’s Rise from Ashes: 1947-64

<p>Ever wondered what it takes to run a nation and be the Prime Minister?</p> <p>Except for billionaires and millionaires every family or individual must budget for their daily existence. Our expenditures must be commensurate with our incomes. Wants are unlimited while resources are limited. Each family has their own priorities. Expenditures on food clothing and accommodation consume most of a family’s income. Of whatever little remains some want to spend on upgrading their capabilities/skills to enjoy a better tomorrow while others want to spend on pomp and pleasure. It’s nobody’s business to pass comments on the conduct of any individual. However when it comes to a family or a nation the choices must be made in consideration of the overall benefits and priorities of its members. Budgeting in a sense reflects our priorities or strategies towards the pursuit of happiness.</p> <p>The question is whether we are equally capable of prioritizing and strategizing for the nation. Can we act in the interests of all stakeholders and be a trusty of national wealth? This book tries to explore the actions of a Prime Minister keeping the India of 1947–64 in the backdrop.</p>
