Perspective On Human Participation In Social And Political Contexts

About the book

It consists of essays on various topics; it is a kind of mosaic since its framework is vast and wide. It is apt to say it captures the random occurrence of thoughts that has sprouted in a more desultory fashion. I do attribute significance to such thoughts since some of the essays were developed over a period of months and certain others clicked in a matter of seconds which in fact overwhelmed the thought process.
