HIGHWAY TO SWADES
Description
At its heart, Highway to Swades is a narrative of hope: of finding answers to questions we didn't know how to ask and of retelling the story of India and her people. Written with simplicity and charm, the book is a vital conversation-starter, giving every Indian the chance to participate in constructing the present from the building blocks of the past.' NARAYANI BASU, historian and bestselling author Highway to Swades provides a fresh perspective on how our great nation has managed to maintain a close bond between its past and the future, as Jani has experienced during her travels spanning two decades. JAYADEV GALLA, member of Parliament, Lok Sabha "Bhairavi Jani is a true nation-builder with heart and soul. This book captures so many stories of people and places from the North-east and gives our people a rightful place in the narrative of India's growth story. A must-read. ABU METHA, adviser to the chief minister, Government of Nagaland Bhairavi Jani was the youngest member of the Young Indians (Yi) founding team and I can't think of a better person who truly reflects the ideals of what Yi stands for. This book is a great way for young Indians to know our India more intimately and be inspired to engage in nation-building." G.V. SANJAY REDDY, founding chairman, CII's Young Indians Bhairavi writes like the Ganga-powerful, forceful, sparkling and engaging. Read this book to understand India's roadmap to unlock its latent greatness." GITANJALI M. SWAMY, senior legislative and policy adviser, Massachusetts State Senate
