A tribute to "Arise O India"

Before I talk about the book, let me say few words about the author "Francois Gautier". Francois Gautier is a french journalist who lived in India for more than 30 years and made India his home. He is a practicing hindu and is a supporter of true hinduism and hindu culture. His openness towards the political and social stigma that India faces is noteworthy. While many newspapers will shy away from publishing raw facts just on the name of secularism, he is quite honest in criticizing the real culprits. In true sense he is a great journalist!!

The book "Arise O India" is throwing a lot of light into the socio economic issues the country facing and the real cause behind it. Unlike others he is not trying to hide the true faces of people like Gandhi, Nehru and the consequences of their policies. It is really sad that the history books no longer dept truth - they are just doctored piece of documents designed solely for muslim appeasement. The Indian english print media is heavily biased - almost always concealing misdeeds of congress. These days it really requires lot of guts to go against the current and call a spade a spade. To our pleasant surprise people like Mr. Gautier is just doing that - daring to call a spade a spade.

He has analyzed India's political situation correctly and also proposed a solution on how the country can revive back is very heartening. I would recommend this book to anyone who truely loves India.
