{"product_id":"9789351361732","title":"A Manifesto For Change","description":"In 1998, a book was published that was surprisingly ahead of its times. It was  called India 2020 and proposed that India could soon be one of the top five  economies of the world. The nation had set off a series of nuclear tests and  was facing worldwide sanctions. A new government had taken charge, and  the economy was facing a tough time. It was not the best of times to predict  that India had it in her to get on the fast track to development. The vision  presented in the book would go on to inspire, directly or indirectly, many  sectors of the economy to work for and achieve high growth. The book has since  sold hundreds of thousands of copies.  In A Manifesto for Change, its author A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, writing with  co-author V. Ponraj, offers a sequel. As focused then as now on his dream of a  developed India by 2020, the eleventh President of India examines what we  need to get right to accomplish that essential goal: harnessing the stupendous  energy of our youth to contribute to growth, a united Parliament that makes  full use of its time for constructive debate and rises above petty party politics to  achieve the larger national vision, and a plan of action that looks at  development from the grassroots to giant strides in infrastructure and  bridging the urban-rural disparity. It is time to leave behind the politics of  antagonism and disruption behind, he suggests. As reward: a developed India  as befits this beautiful land.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175318962416,"sku":"9789351361732","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789351361732_p0.jpg?v=1763674180","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789351361732","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
