"*The Bell Tolls: Tomorrow's Truncated India, *is a topical study of the
messy political scene of contemporary India. In contents and thought it is
substantially different from run-of-the-mill political tracts most of which
tend to ignore the twin formidable threat of Islamic terrorism and impending
demographic crisis to the unity of Indian nation. Not many Indians know that
Christian Europe is heading for a demographic disaster which could destroy
its Christian identity. Niall Ferguson, a strategic analyst who teaches
contemporary history at Harvard University, alerted the western nations more
than two years ago that in another fifty years Europe could become a Muslim
majority continent. Due to rapid decline in the fertility level of Hindus
and allied faiths in several states and sensitive regions, India too could
face a similar threat.
The author has highlighted the damage caused to good governance by the
lengthening shadow of parochial politics, supported by radical Islam and
myopic leftist leadership. The emergence of several casteist parties and
regional satraps, functioning in tandem with self-seeking leftist groups,
has systematically undermined most democratic institutions. The resultant
political destabilization could sound death knell of Indian democracy. The
author has also exposed central government's clumsy fudging of census 2001
by omitting 3.67 crore Indians from census 2001 analysis and recourse to
questionable deletion of the census data of four preceding decades with
retrospective effect.
India being the only bulwark of secularism pitted against Jihadist Islam in
South Asia stands marked as the next civilisational battleground. Unless
effective remedial measures are initiated right now the grim political
situation has the potential to push India towards the 'Dangerous decades' of
disunity, political upheavals and divisiveness, as forecast in 1960 by Selig
S. Harrison, in his perceptive tome, *India: the most dangerous decades.*"
