Few words of praise on "Democracy 2.0: The Algorithm of Change"

 

"Citizen Credit' (described in the book) is an excellent concept...needs to be implemented by the governments..."

- Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India

 

"Democracy 2.0 is all about change...however, the real strength of this work lies in its flowing language that is forceful, effortless and effective. Using the tools of simile and metaphors, the author is successful in making the narrative captivating...one may also look to the book for its powerful punch-lines that the author keeps delivering at regular intervals..."

- The Hindustan Times (HT CITY)

 

"The Post-Gandhian movement - a formidable new-age movement full with stunning ideas of change".

- The Hindu (Hyderabad)

 

"Krishna Kumar's first book is a blue-print to show how the ills of democracy can be solved...it's a story in fictional format written on a subject that is largely non-fictional...with the aim to give practical problems to the solutions of democracy."

- The Pioneer

 

"Democracy 2.0 - written with a pen of revolution and ink of love – is a saga that champions a new order by pushing away the orthodox system. While giving the youths some points to ponder, this novel - written in a simple language with a captivating craft - also touches the chords of their heart"

- The Dainik Jagaran

 

"The second version of the software of democracy...as winds of change knock at the gates of Indian democracy, the author feels that the existing version of democracy, like a computer software, needs to be updated too...the book, based on system change has also a love angle that takes the story to a lighter side."

- The NBT (Nav Bharat Times)

 

"Krishna Kumar's debut book is a 'feel-good' book that institutionalizes acts of 'Being Good' and 'Doing Good' and goes on to make competitive generosity a movement in society...it targets stereotype political and social ideas in present day political set-up."

- The Absolute India, Mumbai

 

"An excellent work...investment made on this book by a reader will be a very profitable investment made on himself."

- Jayant Krishna, President, Lucknow Literature Carnival

 

"While the story is interesting and touches the heart, the book remains quite traditional, inspiring and compelling, that although sometimes may seem a bit romanticized, but is well described both for the characters and their state of mind. It's so simple and above all free from rhetoric and puts you in the middle of the Indian drama better than any television report or documentary....This book is enjoyable, well-made, exciting, where you can be able to identify with the turn of events because they assume that it is the result of real life and does include certain hidden truths which is highly recommended not only to the youth of today but also to all those who sadly hold important positions...There are no explicit judgments, subjective judgments or theories, but only facts from which everyone can draw their own conclusions....It's a book that will keep you awake and send you the adrenaline rush with the descriptions of the landscape and the environment were such that it will seem to you as in a movie all this in a precise and engagingly written book to be read all in one breath."
