THE CHILDREN'S BOOK OF TRUTHS

Why do people fight? What's the use of education? Is India rich or poor? Why are stories important? Can anyone be a leader? Is science only about exams? Will planting trees save the earth?

In this book, ten truth-explorers and idea-shapers share with you their thought-provoking views on important topics close to your heart and mind. Drawing on their experiences, they help you see many different sides of a question and arrive at the most important truth - your own conclusion, your own interpretation, your own answer.
