Vittal — a man who has observed, analysed and above all, boldly crusaded against corruption, calling it \"by far the biggest challenge to the growth of our society and nation.\" His current outlook on corruption in India is that of a self-determined, sensitive patriot who by virtue of his position as the Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) had the opportunity of being able to get a panoramic view of the whole thing — only to conclude,\u003cbr\u003ethat the problem of corruption CAN BE TACKLED.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough this slim, easy-to-read book, he shares with us his thoughts, ideas, and experiences on this critical subject and his vision of \"a corruption-free India.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHumorous and witty at places, throwing up hard facts in-between, the twelve chapters comprising this book 'openly' discuss the serious aspects of corruption and the various interrelated issues.

Using examples from real life, quoting words of wisdom (shlokas), making references to great people and great books, N. Vittal has done every bit to illustrate corruption in India as 'the roadblock' to national prosperity. But his task does not end here. Vittal's writing is soaked in optimism. His worthwhile suggestions keep coming all the way and the final chapter virtually declares his proposed \"strategy\" to combat corruption most effectively.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is meant to attract anybody and everybody who feels strongly about corruption and doesn't mind reading a few pages written by someone as appropriate as Mr. N.
