Despite The State : Why India Lets Its People Down And How They Cope

The book "Ear to the Ground" by M.

Rajshekhar is a groundbreaking exposé that uncovers the shocking truth about India's states and their failure to serve their citizens.

Through meticulous reporting over thirty-three months, Rajshekhar reveals how these states neglect schools, prioritize favors for a select few companies, engage in water wars with neighbors, and suppress dissent while harnessing citizens' right to vote.

This necessary account provides a comprehensive understanding of the deep crisis that has gone unexamined until now.

With its in-depth analysis and compelling storytelling, "Ear to the Ground" is an essential read for anyone interested in Indian politics, governance, and the welfare of its citizens.
