India once commanded a massive 30 percent share of the global GDP and led the world in most fields, but today the country sadly is a developing nation. People Often attribute India's sluggish progress to the malaise called the 'Chalta hai' (it's okay,let it be) attitude, but not everyone agrees with that presupposition. Debates on the subject are often inconclusive and discomfiting questions remain unanswered. Are we really a Chalta Hai Nation? Is Chalta hai ingrained in our DNA or is it just a bad habit which can be easily exterminated? Will this attitude stop India from becoming a global power?
My Take:
How often we have used the word "Chalta Hai", "Theek Hai", "Sab Jugaad Ho Jayga" in our life. Even if we are not satisfied with something, we tend to say " Sab Chalta Hai Yaar".
Alpesh Patel brings out the book that charts out suggestions on how to get rid of the Chalta hai attitude and take India closer to becoming a developed nation.
A well researched book that is imperative for India.
The Book has been divided into 4 parts-
1) Part 1 - Exploring the 'Its Okay' life.
2) Part 2 - Measuring the 'Let It Be' Menace.
3) Part 3 - Why this 'Take It Easy' Policy?
4) Part 4 - The Root causes and Revolution of Chalta hai.
#Personally hats off to the author that he devoted 5 years of his life to write this knowledgeable book. On spending time in various R&D Work. Various case studies and facts have been mentioned in the book.
The Book Revisits our cultural, ideological and political history over three millennia to trace the roots of Chalta Hai attitude of Indians. Many Interesting facts have been mentioned which provokes the reader to know the truth about Chalta hai.
#The Author wants to spread the message of say "No to Chalta hai".
#The Book has covered almost every topic such as Road Transport, Films & Music, Sports, Education etc. Some of the facts mentioned are really mind blowing.
.
# Alpesh Patel delves into this quirky Indian approach and answers these questions by examining the country's pace of progress in different fields.
A BIG MESSAGE WHICH I AND THE AUTHOR WANTS TO SPREAD IS "SAY NO TO CHALTA HAI, SAY SAB BADAL SAKTA HAI".
#A highly recommended book.
# My Rating for this masterpiece is 5/5.
