Using the intellect to investigate Truth: We often underestimate and undermine the place of the intellect in an exploration of the truth. We feel and think that it has little role to play in reaching that expansion of consciousness which is Godhead. However, without a gradual development of and judicious use of the intellect, it is highly unlikely that one would even set that expansive state as one’s goal. One’s mind would instead be simply confined to the toys of life. My goal with this book is to provide food for expansive thought. Perhaps you may find a gem here or a jade there that is relevant to your own growth. If so, my purpose would have been accomplished.

Navin Chawla has had a ringside view of Indian elections: as Chief Election Commissioner, he supervised the landmark 2009 general election, and several key state elections as well. Drawing on his wide-ranging experience, Every Vote Counts presents a riveting account of how the daunting task of conducting the largest electoral exercise in the world is undertaken. The challenges before the Election Commission are many: How does one conduct free and fair elections when a large percentage of our lawmakers are law-breakers? Is the model code of conduct effective? How does one hold elections in Maoist-affected constituencies, or for that matter in the strife-torn state of Jammu and Kashmir? How reliable are electronic voting machines? Is it possible to implement compulsory voting? Will simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies make things any easier? Every Vote Counts is a fascinating, informative account that gives us a kaleidoscopic view of how the electoral machinery works in the world's largest democracy. With the 2019 elections just round the corner, this is a book that every concerned and interested Indian might want to read.
This book includes essays on a number of distinguished civil servants as well as chapters on such topics as law, religion, education, folk tale collecting, and literary connections between India and Ireland.
