Alex S. Jones, Director, Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, Harvard University "Dr. Abraham M. George has written an important and moving story about one of the world's most critical issues.
Ralph Nader, Consumer Advocate and Environmentalist "A remarkable story of what one man can accomplish with vision and determination."
I. K. Gujral, Former Prime Minister of India "I see what a single mans vision can do. I complement Mr. George for his incisive understanding of the situation."
Thomas L. Friedman, Foreign Affairs Columnist, The New York Times "Abraham George has precisely the kind of imagination that we should all want to emulate."
James F. Hoge, Jr., Editor, Foreign Affairs, Council of Foreign Affairs, New York "A wake-up call."
Book Description Product Description In India Untouched, Dr. Abraham George provides a compelling, first-hand account of one mans struggle against a well-entrenched system to make a difference. He offers fresh insight and incisive analysis into why previous attempts to improve the quality of life in rural India have failed, and what must be done in the future. His book is the story of suffering, cruelty, disease, and illiteracy, of corruption, waste, prejudice, and superstition. It is the story of fifty years of poor governance, and a stunning rebuke to the myth that globalization alone will distribute wealth to where its most needed. More importantly, the book is about what can be done to improve the lives of millions of poor people.
