  • Description
    THE STORY OF 2014 The political game in India has fundamentally changed - and in ways that are hard to pin down. The grand old party has collapsed, the crown prince has been vanquished. A right-wing government rode to power on the back of the unprecedented cult its leader has created around himself. The challenger, temporarily winded, has not lost hope. Senior journalist - and now political activist - Ashutosh has had a rare ringside view of modern Indian political history. When he started writing this book, the author was one of India's most influential journalists. By the time the book was done, he had given up a career in journalism in favour of the rough and tumble of politics. The Crown Prince, the Gladiator and the Hope emerges from the lessons learnt in that ferment. Ashutosh also provides a keen personal account of what it takes to fight an election in India, how the media was manipulated to reap huge electoral dividends, and why Elections 2014 was an epoch-making one, the first real twenty-first-century election centred on modern sensibilities and aspirations. A compelling narrative about the state of politics in India in the twenty-first century, this is equally a hopeful book: one that believes the fight for a corruption-free nation is still on.

    Very good book

    I read it, it is very good book, in fact one of the best comic book I ever read.
    I recommend this book to any one who has good sense of humor, You will die laughing.
    Ashutosh has keeled it.

    Excellent Book

    Excellent is most appropriate word for the book. The whole book is in refined language with selected words. Politics is considered to be very boring subject, but it has presented in a fantastic way. After reading this book, apart from politics we come to know how media works. This book has been written for intellectual class. Really appreciate this book for its language and selection of words.

    Ashutosh, take a bow for not transforming the book into a hagiography of Mr. Kejriwal !! Commendable Restraint...

    The start of the book gave me a sense of the laborious reading ahead... However, few more pages into it, and book came across a deep dive into insights of how Indian politics function...

    How two simpletons breaks all the Conservative and Brutal Political barriers to emerge as Most Prominent Personalities of the Decade... One turns the Prime Minister and the other, Chief Minister...

    Waste of money and time

    Hi would recommend, Kejriwal and Ashutosh to please do something before claiming Kejriwal as hope.

    On this book launch, Kejriwal said on record that Kejriwal's model of governance is better that Modi's model of Governance.

    Is it not personality cult.

    I think its too early that Ashutosh wrote this book

    When Hopeless is called Hope!

    The content of the book is biased and Mr. Ashutosh tries hard to portray Mr. Kejriwal as messiah. Mr. Ashutosh good try to use book as a medium for marketing AAP. Better luck next time and stop day dreaming!

    "Hope" I could rate ZERO
