The author, Sanjeev Sabhlok has worked in the public sectors in India and Australia.
This book lays out the theory and institutions of freedom for the lay Indian. The author’s earlier book, Breaking Free of Nehru, was conceptualized as A Short History of Freedom in early 2005. It kept growing and became too large for a single book. This is the second of the two books which came out of that initial work.
This book is essentially a conversation from one layman to another. It examines the theoretical foundations of freedom and outlines the pillars of freedom. Freedom and good governance are inextricably linked together. India has yet to get either of these. This book is a small contribution in raising awareness of the importance of freedom to mankind. |

Can you lead India to freedom? – then join the Freedom Team of India
If you have not yet lost your hopes about India, and are not bogged down in cynicism, then do consider joining the Freedom Team of India. We need at least 1500 leaders to contest elections and take reforms such as those proposed in this book to the people. Help take India to freedom.

Request:
Even though this is an early draft, and will take many more months to become a polished manuscript, the story of freedom is slowly beginning to emerge. I seek your comments and feedback at the blog meant for this book. Alternatively, you can write to me directly at sabhlok AT yahoo DOT com. If you agree with some of my ideas (and even if you don’t) please pass on a link to this web page to your friends and relatives in India. Let them consider these ideas themselves.
I am also on the lookout for competent volunteers to translate this book into Indian languages once it is ready (by about mid-2009). It may take six months of your spare time, so it is a lot of work! There will be very little reward as well—just your name on the main page and some potential good of the country, presuming the translation gets published. Despite these limitations, if you are interested in translating this book, please write to me at sabhlok AT yahoo DOT com with a brief summary of your background.
Thanks for your ongoing interest.
