Synopsis

About The Book:- India has never seen a revolution in its long history because it was never one single nation. A revolution is possible only when those launching it belong to one nation. The country's oppressed and the persecuted millions (85%) are today made to believe that their suffering, misery and poverty are due to their own past misdeeds. In other words, the Untouchables, the worst sufferers of the caste apartheid, are made to believe that they are suffering because of their past deeds (Karma). When the oppressed has not even identified the oppressor how can there be any revolution? , About the Author:- V.
