Why do our students regularly commit suicide?
Why is there so much corruption in India?
Can’t our political parties ever work together?
Does our vote make any difference at all?
We love our India—but shouldn’t some things be different?
These are questions many of us have asked. They are also at the heart of What Young India Wants, Chetan Bhagat’s first work of nonfiction.
Drawing on his experience as a bestselling author and motivational speaker, Bhagat examines some of the most pressing issues facing modern India. In clear, accessible prose, he offers insights, proposes solutions, and invites readers to engage in a broader conversation about the country’s future.
At its core, the book asks a crucial question: unless we can agree on what it takes to improve our nation, how will meaningful change ever happen?
For anyone seeking to understand contemporary India—and to be part of shaping its future—What Young India Wants provides a compelling starting point.
