"Technology for Revolution: Opportunity for a New Religion and a
New Society" is a treatise on religious and social reform. It is an
attempt to create a blue print for the route map to a happy,
healthy, peaceful, progressive, prosperous, creative and
constructive world. The book advocates that ultimate social peace
and individual mental bliss and freedom cannot be achieved without
adopting a spiritual way of life with a sense of justice. It
explores the issues with which the human society is afflicted at
present and then goes on to suggest a new model of governance and
administration utilizing the opportunities made available by the
changes in the information and communication technology. The author
suggests that the root cause of almost all the sociopolitical
issues are linked to the degeneration and corruption in the
religious and spiritual values which results in an overall
degradation of the social ethics. It delves deep into the issue of
corruption and degeneration of all the religious practices across
the globe. It exposes how religious practices have completely
abandoned Truth, God and spirituality and has embraced blatant
commercialism in the name of God and faith. It then explores the
effects of this spiritual and religious degeneration in the
sociopolitical and administrative arena taking examples and
references mainly from the Indian society. Having explored the
problem and its root cause in detail, the book presents a
comprehensive universal and global manifesto for governance and
administration applicable to the humanity as a whole. It combines
the concepts of social and economic justice of Karl Marx, the
concepts of Ram Rajya of Mahatma Gandhi, the concepts of human
equality of Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr and the concepts of
universal brotherhood and global citizenship. It, then, blends them
all with the spiritual teachings of Buddha, Socrates, Kabir and
Osho Rajneesh. The universal and global manifesto for humanity as a
whole presented in this book envisions the creation of a happy,
healthy, peaceful, progressive, prosperous, creative and
constructive world. The ideals and optimism projected through this
manifesto might initially appear to be "Utopian" in nature however
considering the opportunities made available by the advancements in
technology in general and information and communication technology
in particular and after going through the detailed explanations
presented with every point in the manifesto, a reader may feel
compelled to add his own efforts towards the goals envisioned in
this book. The innovative solutions suggested in the manifesto
eliminates the need to have departments like the anti-corruption,
vigilance, election observers, tax collection departments etc. in
government and administration and would automatically cleanup the
muck in politics and public life. The book also has the potential
to generate controversy as it has ruthlessly dissected the
commercialism, irrationality and evils in almost all the major
religious practices across the globe. The author seems to be aware
of the dangerous consequences as a result of his direct attack on
the people running their massive business empires in the name of
religion however he seems to be prepared to face the treatments
similar to what Socrates, Meera or Mansur al Hallaj had to face.
Considering what Salman Rushdie or Taslima Nasreen had to go
through for much more subtle expressions, the author seems to be
inviting a serious trouble for himself despite his pious and
altruistic motives behind writing whatever he has presented through
this book.
