R. Balasubramaniam takes the reader through interpretations of development initiatives at the grassroots and what good governance means to ordinary people. He unravels the power of citizen engagement through his experiences of leading civil society campaigns against corruption and towards strengthening democratic participation of people. I, the Citizen also deals with the philosophical underpinnings of public policies, drawing from his on-the-ground experience as well as engagement with those in the higher echelons of policymaking and implementation. The last section of the book provides glimpses into milestones of a development movement, which Balu founded and led, milestones that are responsible for a continued faith in citizen engagement despite the hindering forces. 606 $aPolitical participation$zIndia$zTsundur 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical participation 676 $a323.042095485 700 $aBalasubramaniam$b R.$01033375 701 $aVenkatachalia$b M.
