The Aam Aadmi tells us the story of how an outsider to Indian politics aroused
the common man to challenge the current scenario of politics. It explores how
one man had the gumption to question the governance of country and how he was
responsible for bringing together people from all walks of life to demand a
change.The book vividly describes how a journalist, a lawyer, an academic, a
policymaker, a CEO, a retired NSG commando, an architect, and a poet and many
more joined hands to envision a better India. But the book is not all about
singing Kejriwal’s praises. It also critical of some of his beliefs and
ideas. It condemns how he took to the streets of New Delhi to protest. It
also does not approve of his convictions that The Janpal is the anecdote for
all the corruption issues in India and that the government is solely responsible
for the generation of employment opportunities. But it does acknowledge the
fact that Arvind Kejriwal made an effective impact in the short time that he
was a chief minister.The Disrupter: Arvind Kejriwal And The Audacious Rise Of
The Aam Aadmi was published by Rupa Publications India in 2014, and is
