[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "India in Chaos, Only Judiciary can Save" by komal chandra agrawal.]

India in Chaos, Only Judiciary Can Save by K.C. Agrawal is a work of research. It tells of the many reasons about why India is still in a poor state for its people, even after 71 years of independence. The author attempts to find the core reason for every problem that India is facing. He also provides solutions for those issues. Agrawal believes that the judiciary is the one way to set the country on a prosperous path.

There are three parts to this book. The first two parts focus on the issues plaguing the country and the reasons why they occurred. The third part is a guideline that the author provides to assist in India’s healing. Through extensive research, Agrawal tries to diagnose India’s troubles and find cures for them. The judiciary is the final authority when it comes to executing the parts of the Constitution. This is why Agrawal is under the impression that the judiciary is the key to fixing India’s problems.

This book was a very informative read. It’s clear that Agrawal did thorough research for this book. I could also see just how deeply the matters of India touched him. His passion shone through every page of this novel. Agrawal also provides his readers with many visuals throughout the book to give readers a better understanding of the extent to India’s problems. Additionally, there is an index and a list of definitions for the terms that he used. This book was very straightforward and even blunt at times. However, it seemed necessary in order to drive the problems and solutions home to the readers. I have no doubt that anyone from or living in India will find truth while reading Agrawal’s novel.

The only issue that I had with this book was the grammatical mistakes. It didn’t take me long to find ten errors. They were pretty consistent through the entire book. Most of the mistakes were missing punctuation marks. One example is on page 59. It reads, “Lack of infrastructure too is a compulsion to mobilize funds through disinvestments and FDIs.” I would definitely suggest another round of editing. This book is a very powerful read, and it would be a shame for careless mistakes like that to hold it back from its potential.

Overall, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. It was a very educational experience. I learned a lot from reading this book. It's very well-researched, and the author’s passion made it all the more engaging. However, I could not ignore the number of mistakes that it had, so I cannot give it a perfect rating. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to do some research on a different country. I would especially recommend it to people from India, since a book like this would definitely hit home for them. I wouldn’t recommend it to those who find these types of books boring.

Like Mely918's review? Post a comment saying so!

Seems like I would like reading this book since I am an Indian. I agree with the author's views that judiciary can set our country on a prosperous path but it cannot be the only way. If the scales tip in favor of a particular institution, chances are it will also indulge in abuse of power. What is required is proper checks and balances in every institution. You have written a well-organized and coherent review. Thanks!

I am not an Indian, but I am interested in learning more about their struggles. It is a shame this book has so errors. I can look pass it since the content seems well thought out. Thanks for your review.

I don't know much about India, so it seems that this book would be appropriate for me. It sounds like the author did the research well which I appreciate. I'll have to consider this one for the future. Thanks.

I do agree with Agrawal's idea that the judiciary can fix the system in India. I am not from India but i have knowledge of their system. Thanks for the review.

I liked your review, unfortunatly I am not really interested in reading this novel.

A functional judiciary is always a voice to reckon with in many countries. I would like to learn about India, since I don't know much. The book sounds like a good source. A shame about the errors.

An informative, well-researched, engaging Novel adds up to a great readCongratulations to the author on the #BOTD and hats off to you as well for writing such an insightful review

Whilst I am keen on learning how he feels a judiciary could solve Indias problems, could a single solution truly work? I'm tempted to read it so I can find out what makes the author feel like it

i am an IR student, i guess i will read it.

Identifying areas for improvement is a step towards change and betterment. I am not from the country but much has been said in more recent years about its prospects for attaining better status in the years to come. I won't dare comment on whether the solution proposed by the author is what would really solve what needs resolving and I'd rather remain apolitical even with matters local, but it's good that you've found the piece informative and well-researched. Thank you for your insightful review.

It makes me happy that the author in his/her research chose not only to highlight problems bedeviling India but also solutions that will brighten the situation. This book helps us to tackle serious problems that face populous democracies and how we can turn things around in a positive way. Liked the review

Reading the book reminded me of similar problems faced by other countries. The book is penned from a reserve of knowledge.
Nice review. you raised critical issues no one would have ignored.
