Each of the nine chapters of this book showcases an outlook on pertinent social issues. From the ever-changing evils of society and how together we can solve day-to-day problems to what the responsibility of society towards orphans should be and how to prevent their criminalization have been discussed threadbare. Khanna has selected topics unrelated to politics and governments, addressing the smallest unit of a nation - the family. He attributes problems to the departure from India's roots and highlights instilling the nation's ageold cultural ethos among children.
