Why is materialistic USA more law abiding than culture-laden India? Bhagat wonders. Rather, he spends more time picking out India’s faults than highlighting its positives. However, despite the off-the-cuff sounding discourse, I found quite a few good things in What Young India Wants.įor one, Bhagat doesn’t praise everything about India. An ex-banker who worked in Hong Kong before moving back to India, Bhagat has now come up with his first work of non-fiction, which may be called his ‘take on how to fix India’.īhagat’s What Young India Wants is a rambling narrative, totally different from say “ The Plan: Twelve months to renew Britain” by Douglas Carswell and Daniel Hannan, two young Conservative politicians, which had a step-by-step plan for lifting Britain up from Labour bogs to a Conservative heaven. Blessed with an amazing ability to connect with India’s youth and excellent marketing and brand-building skills, Bhagat has, to the horror of his detractors, managed to churn out one best-seller after another. Chetan Bhagat must be either the most loved and admired or the most hated writer in the Indian sub-continent.
