500 _a Shooting Stars from an astrophysicists mind Jayat V Narlikar is an astrophysicist, so it comes natural to him to think big and dramatic when thinking about the issues on our Earth. He is a Cambridge graduate and a student of the celebrity Fred Hoyle. He developed IUCAA, a premier institute of India working in this area, after serving for 16 long years with the prestigious Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). Normally a very soft spoken man, he now appears in a new role--that of a constructive critic of national affairs, something that India needs at the present moment as it advances in a bid to become an advanced nation by 2020. For years he has been writing in the Time of India on these topics of critical importance. The same articles are now present in more sturdy and sustaining book form.. His ideas are like high flying shooting stars, spectacular, yet deep enough to shake up the nation out of the complacence. He places before the readers much needed ideas and implores them to think Articles; previously published.
