Foreword by Devi Shetty

For a long time, India held a respected place among the world's best nations. Over time, its reputation was tarnished by invaders. After independence, the country's resurgence and development have been rapid. On the occasion of the completion of 75 years of independence, what will India be like in the next 25 years, i.e., in the 100th year of independence? What should it be? What are our resolutions? These conversations and discussions are the central themes of this book, in which 16 representatives of the intelligentsia have discussed various aspects of national life through writings on the India of dreams and potential reality. From rural life to global India, religion and culture, as well as technology, financial systems, and national security, the vision of India at the age of 100 is presented through words. Overall, these publications represent the collective dream of Indian society. Organized by the Panchnad Research Institute, the nation's intellectual warriors have shared their thoughts in this dialogue. The Institute believes that the articles are not just dreams or imagination, they can also be considered as action plans.
