If I describe this book in one line,
"There are no dark arts more frightful than control of thoughts."The book is about how democracy in India is in a vulnerable state because of different issues like election funding and criminals in politics. It talks about how journalism has changed from being a trusted source of information to being more entertainment focused. The book tries to figure out if there is anything that can be done to improve the situation.
The overall reading experience was great.

July 24, 2023Broken Pillars Of Democracy offers an eye-opening exploration of key facets of Indian Democracy, making it a compelling addition to any reader’s list. The book’s distinct appeal lies not only in its rich content but also in its presentation as a slim hard-bound copy. While it primarily reflects the author’s opinions — a move, perhaps, to avoid media controversies — it caters specifically to Indian non-fiction enthusiasts. The author, known more as a social activist influencer than a traditional writer, employs a language that occasionally incorporates Hindi phrases into English. Though this may be off-putting for those accustomed to polished prose, it does contribute to the book’s authenticity and originality.
The book effectively draws from the author’s video discussions and social media content, presenting a written manuscript that serves to raise awareness on critical issues. Focusing on four major sectors — Media, Politics, Elections, and Police — Broken Pillars Of Democracy is accessible even to those with a limited background in civics. The book commences with a thorough grounding on the historical implementation of these systems, gradually unveiling the flaws that have emerged over time.
What sets this book apart are the astonishing revelations on laws and policies, some of which are relatively unknown to the general public. Notably, the author substantiates these claims with credible evidence, providing links to support his findings. The thought-provoking facts presented throughout the book are truly impressive.
In contrast to works that solely critique systemic problems, Broken Pillars Of Democracy also serves as a guide to potential solutions. The author draws not only from personal perspectives but also from international examples to address the highlighted issues. It is important to note that the book neither glorifies nor disparages other countries, but rather offers a balanced assessment of different systems and their challenges.
Encouraging readers to take individual action, the book concludes with pragmatic measures that can contribute to positive change, however small. It adeptly avoids leaving readers feeling disheartened and instead empowers them with actionable steps.
In conclusion, Broken Pillars Of Democracy is a highly recommended read for anyone seeking an insightful fact check on Indian democratic foundations. Despite its brevity, the book manages to deliver a wealth of knowledge without demanding excessive time from its readers.

February 23, 2022Bitter truth
A book that hints upon the existing broken democratic system. It is bitter to accept the truth, but that's the truth. Instead of marching ahead, we are marching backword. And today more than yesteryears we are getting to know of it instantly.
Nitish Rajput wants to make us aware but will his attempt be of any help? Well perhaps atleast a discussion is begun. From the part of Nitish the initiation is been done, the onus now rests on us. How do we take this discussion to complete fruition?
Nitish Rajput rightly notifies the ethical and moral maladies of media and how elections have been a scam in the past years. Nitish also hints point blank as to why we do not trust people who we should actually!
The book is an easy read but a sad plight of our country which needs sure quick assistance.

This book talks about the media then and now, election funding, criminals's presence in the politics and arises many questions like
Why did opinitated news appear?
When did journalists start expressing their personal opinion on any issue?
Its such a straightforward and to the point book. Factfully pointed and raw. Even from the title you can understand the truthfulness in it. Our generation truly needs to check this one out.
If you love reading non fiction,surely check this out.

Quite Impressive
In this book author talks about the main four pillars of democracy - Legislative, Executive, Judiciary and Media and their roles. Author has studied in depth about their roles from past( immediate after independence and now). The comparison is quite reasonable. Overall it's really a thought provoking book.

It requires a great courage to point out the loopholes from your own beloved country but in for today's generation it is nothing new. The nihilist people would defame the book or author and but even they know the uncomfortable truth. I loved the honesty of this book, it's simple but appealing language and most importantly message that was tried to be conveyed.

Nitish raised some important issues related to the current state of democracy and politics in this book. However, the writing style could have been better. Honestly, it felt like I was reading a script from one of his YouTube videos.

Research and Facts could have been better. A much deeper research would have been done.

Superficial Bilge.
Content looks to be dredged out from the deep pits of some one who has lived a lifetime of hypocricy.

Very well described
I was amazed to read it. So real. It describes everything, how politics work. How media works rather plays, the power which journalism has but now how the power is being used. This is a kind of book which I recommend introducing in schools as our students should know the reality. A perfectly well descriptive essay.

I'd love to say that this book had hit me hard. It's in Hindi but I'll put my review in English. It's a perfect 5 star because it has put everything out about politics and media. The language is very polished so that it's easy for everyone to understand. Everyone should give it a read. It has a lot of info.
Kudos to the author for being so amazing.
