For over two years now, since mid-2008, I've shared with everyone who is connected to the internet the draft manuscript of The Discovery of Freedom (DOF), a book I've been working on since February 2005.
DOF is a sister book to Breaking Free of Nehru (BFN). It is addressed to the entire world, including India. It discusses the theory of freedom and the broad history of the institutions of freedom.
I've now completed what is perhaps the sixth or seventh revision of the manuscript. As with BFN where I invited public comment on its draft, I've sought comments on DOF from the thin air (namely, internet!) over the past two years, and have been delighted with the quality of feedback I've so far received.
With this revision, I'm now into the final stretch of this marathon journey. I'm particularly keen at this stage to receive comments on content that you disagree with or anything you think I've misrepresented or is inaccurate. I'm happy to fine-tune my arguments and even change them where appropriate.
While typos still litter this draft, please don't be daunted by them. They'll be fixed in subsequent revisions. You may, however, point out such typos to me as well.
Please download the PDF version from
here and send me your comments at sabhlok AT yahoo DOT com. Since each revision takes me around 4-6 months of (part-time) work, I look forward to your comments by, say, end-2010.
(Please forward the URL of this post to your friends, or spread the word on Facebook. The more the people who spend time to read this draft, the better the quality of the final product).
