The book, 'Viksit Bharat @ 2047' is written with a new perspective and outlook. The basic concern is to explore and highlight on various contemporary socio-economic, political and cultural issues concerning Indian society and polity. A modest attempt has also been made to address many burning issues related to the nation building process in India. Many chapters in this book are written on various burning socio-economic, cultural, political, religious, geographical and environmental issues such as Human Rights, Indian Knowledge System, Indian Federalism, Women Empowerment, Tourism, Globalisation, SAARC, BRICS etc. It is expected that this book will be of immense importance to researchers, students, activists, teachers, planners and policy makers.
