WHO CARES ABOUT PARLIAMENT? SPEAKING UP TO PROTECT INDIA’S GREAT INSTITUTION
Author: Derek O’Brien
Description of product
Derek O’Brien, India’s favourite quizmaster and now an award-winning parliamentarian, has observed
parliamentary proceedings from the first row of the Rajya Sabha while playing a key role for the
Opposition and raising difficult questions. In Who Cares about Parliament: Speaking Up to Protect
India’s Great Institution, he explains how Parliament has been undermined in the last decade. The
book narrates how rules, precedents and conventions established over the years have been bypassed
and ignored; how this glorious institution is being mocked at and destroyed. With an in-depth
insight into legislative procedures, O’Brien reminds us that Parliament is not just a new building;
it is an establishment with old traditions and values—it is the foundation of Indian democracy.
Who Cares about Parliament is a must-read for those who want a deeper understanding of the
challenges faced by our nation today.
