A Citizen’s Manifesto – the Book
The recent books published by the administrators, leaders and authors on the subjects that concern our country generally focus on a few burning issues or those which are popular for the time being. The problem with this specialised approach is that issues get constrained by the coverage scope of the book and the book fails to deal with the inter-related impact of issues. In contrast, the treatment of the majority of issues in the pages of one book, gives corrective action a reasonable chance.
The book offers a coherent list of about two hundred such issues and complementing suggestions for shaking up our citizens from the materialistic slumber that they are currently in to some sort of awakening. Even if these ideas are simply kept at the back of mind while in the day to day living or at work place, the chances that we would be moving in the right direction are real. The complete list of these ideas is summarised in the last chapter ‘The Manifesto’.
Relevance
It is a simple book, not really recommended for reading by the historians, economists, sociologist or the Indian Administrative Services (I*S) officers who need a much heavier dose to satisfy their intellect ; in fact it should be banned for them. This book deals with ideas, emotions, and feelings and not with statistics, reports, tables, numbers or references and quotations. Those in the seats of power or in administration of the country generally are guided by their perception of the society by looking at it from their ivory towers. Reading this book from the viewpoint of a common citizen gives them the advantage of being closer to reality as seen by an average citizen.
Readers
•For the citizens of India, for creating a big picture in mind of how the government is functioning, what are their constraints and how public can help.
•For the governance of India including politicians, for understanding the need for going into grass root level issues of the nation
•For the bright students, it provides material for improving grading and for the students in general it provides important material in simple and interesting form
•For the citizens of other developing countries, what they can learn from the Indian experience; countries like Pakistan, Eastern Europe, South East Asia and Latin American countries.
•For Western Countries to help them do business with India after making better informed decisions for a win-win situation. We expect a very large number of readers in England, South Africa, Canada and USA.
•Even from the view point of a traveller to India or school students going in for interviews this book provides adequate information as well answers to discussion topics.
Unique Main Messages in the book
• Introducing a 4th wing “Regulatory” in the government for overseeing Legislative, Executive and Judiciary
• Reducing the number of national parties to 5 and regional to 3 per state
• Using media power to promote transparency and take over control
• Limiting the progress and GDP in order to conserve natural resources and control inflation
• Restructuring and revitalizing our cities and getting back to villages and Maha-Grams
• Reduction of laws, but intensification of its enforcement
• Delegating funds to Panchayati Raj level for empowerment of villages
• Discarding the ills of religion and cricket, and managing these industries sternly
• Getting away from reservations, subsidies, and policies that weaken the society
• Engaging our enemies in knowledge warfare where we can excel, instead of military or physical warfare
• Introducing compulsory army tenure and compulsory rural service by doctors
• Installing a good leader and politician but when in opposition establishing a shadow government
• Creating a real time intelligence correlation network (RICN) to tackle terrorism
• Recovering from the bad designs of IT systems and data capture forms
• Tackling corruption using the new rules of money circulation
• Controlling the demands on energy generation
• Generating wealth in villages instead of consuming wealth by social schemes
Chapter Break Down
Detailed treatment of subjects included in this book is available on standard books on each of the following subjects.

A non-fictional account of the impact of The Oil-For-Food debacle and international child support on the first American family of Ambassador Khamis Kegesheki Suedi. Our story chronicles those of two children much like the Honorable President Barak Hussain Obama. Children raised without the United Nation´s International Child Support promulgated in its edits since 1957; defacto denied in practical application. Heresy indeed; as our country does trade with one of Suedi´s largest private companies Kagera Fish Co LTD with assets between $20-50 millon dollars in sales annually. Marcus´ story from birth to age 14 chronicles a child with a diagnosis of Autism and 23 medical diagnoses. It illustrates the impact of defacto generational proverty on the provision of his needed entitled services for survival; and his mother´s struggle to access services for him. Amina is Ambassador Suedi´s first born. In the midst of her struggle, Ambassador Suedi abandons Amina, Marcus and myself in Bethesda, Maryland 2004; in the midst of The Oil-For-Food scandal with his best friend Kofi Annan, and men at the top of the United Nation´s, World Bank´s echelon like Strauss-Kahn. Discovery and enlightment demand that thousands of the children of diplomats now receive compensation for past due and entitled child support with damages, in America and internationally from their fathers. Men who are present and former employees of the United Nations. Essential to escape the grip of intergenerational poverty and loss of their heritage.

This book, The State of the American Mind: Stupor and Pathetic Docility � Volume One begins to unravel some of the most obvious, perplexing, embarrassing and enduring problems and contradictions of American history and sociology, viz., � how could the American revolution that started with the most ringing and most inspiring Declarations of human equality in world history end up establishing the most vicious, exploitative society the world ever knew � Black chattel slavery and only ten percent �white� enfranchisement, etc. Further, how could men of such great wisdom and intellect like George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and others who were Enlightenment scholars and clearly knew that slavery was despicable and evil, because they had variously experienced white servitude and slavery themselves, collude to establish and institutionalize the horrible system of Negro chattel slavery in America; and also disenfranchised over 90 percent of people of their own race � actions that racism could not explain. The structural/institutional slavery system they established, and the resultant consequent racism hobbles America today as it did in the past, and forced Eric Holder, the Attorney General to declare that, �America is a nation of cowards, when it comes to race discussions.� Thus, this book starts with serious critical discussions of race in America and reveals what no textbook has ever done, viz., � that most early American �whites� and Blacks were slaves � an uncomfortable fact that would shock most Americans because it contradicts the orthodoxy or the �dominant narrative� that only Blacks were brought here in chains. Further, the book also shows the year Black slavery started � something almost, all textbooks got wrong. It also shows who, was the fi rst Black slave in America � something no textbook ever mentions. It also shows when and how racism started in America and many other very sensitive and embarrassing but necessary issues that America avoids but must be frankly discussed for America to move forward. This book therefore shatters the two dominant themes of America�s history and sociology that Blacks were brought into America in chains as slaves while whites came to America in search of freedom, as Harvard educated President Obama famously told us in his race speech. Thus, the crowning lesson of this book, in addition to discussing some critical policy issues like education, health care, etc., is that it discovers the centripetal force of the American society that eluded contemporary Americans because American bosses have laboriously concealed the facts from the public � the scary but clearly healthy uniting fact that most Americans are united by their common ancestry, their universal history and experience of servitude, bond-indentures and slavery. Nothing is more universal, more common and more shared in American history and sociology than the fact that most of our ancestors, black and white, were servants, bond-indentures and slaves who were dominated and super-exploited by few overlords. Colonial America was the preferred dumping ground for British, outcasts, rejects, criminals, masterless class, vagabonds, bond-indentures, slaves, etc., until 1776 when Australia replaced America as the British dump for its rejects and surplus citizens. Thus, that America was a nation founded by British rejects and losers is inherently more rational than the prevailing orthodoxy or the Obama theory of America�s founders that they were great honorable men �who journeyed across the ocean� for freedom because of the obvious reason that good, powerful achieving citizens do not normally emigrate to new uncharted lands.
