The Disrupter: Arvind Kejriwal and the Audacious Rise of the Aam Aadmi, (Paperback)

The Aam Aadmi party formed by Arvind Kejriwal experienced an unprecedented upsurge in a very short time since its formation. The Disrupter: Arvind Kejriwal And The Audacious Rise Of The Aam Aadmi tells us the story of how an outsider to Indian politics aroused the common man to challenge the current scenario of politics. It explores how one man had the gumption to question the governance of country and how he was responsible for bringing together people from all walks ofife to demand a change.The book vividly describes how a journalist, aawyer, an academic, a policymaker, a CEO, a retired NSG commando, an architect, and a poet and many more joined hands to envision a better India. But the book is not all about singing Kejriwal's praises. It also critical of some of his beliefs and ideas. It condemns how he took to the streets of New Delhi to protest. It also does not approve of his convictions that The Janpal is the anecdote for all the corruption issues in India and that the government is solely responsible for the generation of employment opportunities. But it does acknowledge the fact that Arvind Kejriwal made an effective impact in the short time that he was a chief minister.The Disrupter: Arvind Kejriwal And The Audacious Rise Of The Aam Aadmi was published by Rupa Publications India in 2014, and is available in paperback. It has been co-authored by Gautam Chikermane and Soma Banerjee.
