Description

A. Raja’s tenure as the Union Minister for Telecommunications was marked by a bold vision to democratize mobile connectivity and increase teledensity in India. Despite numerous obstacles—including bureaucratic resistance, political conspiracies, monopolistic business interests, and personal attacks—he implemented policies that expanded telecom access to millions, revolutionizing India’s communication landscape.

This book not only recognizes A. Raja’s contributions but also critically examines the governance challenges that surfaced, particularly in the context of the 2G spectrum controversy. It explores the deep-rooted issues—likened to societal “viruses”—that infect policy-making and governance in India, hindering national progress.

By shedding light on these systemic flaws and highlighting Raja’s resilience in the face of adversity, this book presents a thought-provoking analysis of governance, telecommunications, and the broader socio-political ecosystem that shapes policy decisions in India.
