Revolution 2020 by
Chetan Bhagat 
Revolution 2020 is a book by Chetan Bhagat,
Rupa publications , Rs140. It is the story
of three childhood friends: Gopal, Raghav, and Aarti. The story is setup in
the holy-city of Varanasi. This book is mainly about love, corruption
and ambition. Gopal comes from a middle class background. Raghav is from an
almost well to do family, where as Aarti comes from a rich and political
family. Three of them have their own ambitions in life. Gopal wanted to be
a rich man, Raghav wanted to change the world, Aarthi wanted to become an air
hostess. The story tells about their triangle love story. Gopal chooses
corruption as an aid to become a successful person while Raghav tries
to change the world with his revolutionary ideals. He believes that by 2020 a
revolution will take place which will change the world. In the end, things kind
of change though, and you will be left to yourself to wonder who is right and
who is wrong. Except for a faint hint in the end, Chetan doesn’t really judge
what Gopal does is good or bad. I think that Raghav is right. The present generation
and the generations ahead should not give into this corrupted system like
Gopal. I too believe in Revolution 2020. Let’s all pray and work for it, for
building up a better India.
