In his path breaking commentary, the author has given a fascinating account of not only the Indian subcontinent, but China, South East Asia, Central Asian Republics and a host of other regions as well. Many of the proposals have commanded international respect. The range of subjects dealt with cover an equally vast spectrum: from demography, ecology, revitalisation of democracy, good governance to trauma and critical care. The proposal relating to the "Demilitarisation of the Himalayas as an Ecological Imperative" is being actively considered by several world bodies, NGOs and international agencies.
