The Coup India Missed - A Political Quest through the Fantasies of Statecraft

We are drawn irresistibly into the book as obstinate Indian politicians challenge the intrepid Baba to fight elections and enter Parliament to enact his anti-corruption law. The people of India pick up the gauntlet and in the General Elections that follow, they catapult his greenhorn political party into power. Baba appoints a maverick politician, Professor Murthy, as Prime Minister, to lead the country.
Under Murthy, the country sees revolutionary change, both to its economy, as well as its political structure. An amended Constitution brings in the Presidential form of government. The revamped education sector becomes the driving force of the country's socio-economic renaissance. India becomes a developed country with a potent military and world presence. As Pakistan-sponsored terrorism continues to hurt Kashmir, the Indian armed forces move in to bring the RAW-incited freedom struggle to its logical end. Baluchistan, Sindh and the Pakhtunkhwa, become independent countries. The world applauds as the cradle of terrorism is destroyed forever.
A book that reflects the ideas that live in the minds of Indian citizens, like grass seeds sown by the wind..

Kozhikot Gopinathan, a Masters in Economics from the University of Jabalpur, is a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Indian Army. During his 27 years high-octane career as a commissioned officer with the Regiment of Artillery, he saw action during the 1971 Indo-Pak War, and the botched peace-keeping operations in Sri Lanka. His three tenures in the Himalayas ignited his inherent poetic traits, adding magic to soldiering in the rugged mountains. On retirement, he settled in God's Own Country, where he has pursued his passion for writing. Gopinathan is a keen observer of the murky Indian political panorama and finds it difficult to remain a passive spectator while self-seeking politicians and bureaucrats exploit a gullible public. In The Coup India Missed, his first book, he shares his thoughts on how to challenge the deep-rooted perversity in Indian polity.
