India a Civilisational State re-architecting the Republic' (Book Review)

New Delhi, Sep 24 India is a Civilisational State engaged in a "grand undertaking to re-architect" the Republic. It should make a "clean break" from its "socialistic, feudal past" to maintain the momentum and should stake claim to be a world power, says a new book on the country's journey as it approaches the 75th year of its Independence, even as it calls for course corrections in the areas of governance, bureaucracy, foreign policy and the judiciary.

"India is today attempting to achieve economic growth with individual freedom-expanding social change in a grand undertaking to re-architect the republic. This India will be more secure, equal and prosperous, seeking a greater sway in world affairs," Harish Madhusudan and Rajeev Mantri write in "A New Idea Of India"
