Description

Madhya Pradesh, known as the Heart of India, is a land of history, culture, and rapid development. Rajgarh District, in particular, is witnessing remarkable progress with new highways, railway stations, and infrastructure projects. But behind this face of growth lies a hidden reality — the challenges and struggles of rural life that often go unnoticed. This book explores the darker side of development, covering critical social issues such as caste-based discrimination, untouchability, child marriage, exploitation of girls, alcoholism, domestic violence, blind devotion to politicians, and land disputes with feudal violence. Written in simple and engaging language, it brings attention to both the progress and the problems of society, encouraging readers to reflect and act. Through real observations and analysis, the author highlights the importance of awareness, justice, and change in rural communities. This is the first book by Raghav Bhattar, a Humanities student, passionate reader, and aspiring politician, who aims to give voice to the unheard and inspire positive change. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in social issues, politics, and the realities of contemporary India. A thoughtful and eye-opening book, it reveals both the beauty and the challenges of life in Madhya Pradesh.
