Mani Shankar Aiyar's new book

A collection of articles, Mani Shankar Aiyar's new book, Achhe Din, ha ha, was released in Dehradun on the 18th August. The event turned into a Congress programme, and many left before the end. There was not enough analysis of the book. The book however, is worth reading, mainly because of Mani Shankar's knowledge of history and his comparisons of events of today with those in the past. At the same time, it is a commentary on the political events of the last year, from his own point of view. 'It is not an objective account', he said himself, at the start of the event.
