<br/><br/>  Is Hinduism the exclusive preserve of the most strident groups?<br/><br/>• Are the elites of ‘Lutyen’s Delhi’ stuck in a time warp?<br/><br/>• Should India call Pakistan’s bluff and brand it an enemy nation?<br/><br/>• Why do MPs disrupt parliament and waste the taxpayers’ money?<br/><br/>• Why shouldn’t a grand Ram temple be built in Ayodhya?<br/><br/>• Why is India’s foreign policy more ad-hocism and less strategy?<br/><br/>In Chanakya’s View: Understanding India in Transition, Pavan K. Varma, best-selling author of Adi Shankaracharya: Hinduism’s Greatest Thinker, analyses the challenges that India faces today. In a minute and frank critique, he points to behavioural change as the need of the hour: Indians need to respect institutions, shun intolerance, accommodate dissent, follow strategic diplomacy and increase their moral quotient. At once a celebration of India and an appraisal of it, Chanakya’s View is a roadmap to making the republic a truly great one.<br/><br/>One of India’s foremost public intellectuals, and also a politician, Varma firmly believes that India will sustain owing to its great civilisational heritage and the strength of its people. As a committed admirer of the great strategist Chanakaya, he is convinced that these years of transition will ultimately lead to a maturation worthy of the world’s largest democracy.
