ROOT CAUSE OF POVERTY ?
Is not the root cause of abject poverty, the fraudulent pillage and plunder by corrupt means of public resources, both by the public and private sectors, out of sheer insatiable greed by a few, which thereby deny the dire basic needs of the many of their very right to livelihood ? Hence, ought not this root cause be courageously addressed and severely dealt with, to prevent the fraudulent pillage and plunder by corrupt means of the resources of the people, by enforcing the rule of law most stringently against such socio-politically powerful and affluent miscreants, than against the hapless poor ? Is this not of far greater importance, than pontified poverty elevations programs, which really in fact replaces such unjust pillaged and plundered resources of the people, with such ill-gotten wealth even gaining recognition in society, including being ‘whitewashed’ in public by religious leaders, on mere donations made therefrom ! Does this not finally lead to social injustice, with human rights violations, and finally to social uprisings, with riots giving birth to terrorism, to combat which the very resources of the people are again deployed !

ROOT CAUSE OF POVERTY ?
These Synopses have been very well compiled for lay persons to apprise
themselves of the facts disclosed in the series of voluminous Books by the Author, which lay persons may not have the time or the inclination to delve into. These Synopses bear out very lucidly, facts supported by adduced documentations, and might create a desire among the readers, in fact, to study the detailed larger volumes of the relevant Books in this series by the Author where controversial matters had been exposed which ordinary people will fear to do so. This is a yeomen service to society performed by the Author as a meritorious act and deed which should result in arresting the alarming trend exposed in this series thus making our society a better place to live in. I commend these Synopses to be read by all, to comprehend the prevalent contemporary socio-political realities and have the guts to expose and eradicate the cancer that has crept into society by the doings of a few.
