but there were couple of other truths, 1) He did MBA after engineering which might justify joining an investment bank to sell their products 2) He eventually quit his bank job and took over his passion as job
Therefore, that comment might be true in general not specifically applicable to Mr Bhagat
this guy is hardly a writer...his vocabulary is that of 8th standard....all his readers are either teens or guys who has not grown up...i am surprised that he is so popular...

thats not the whole story! There is something in the book that scares these literary chaps! They just cant digest the fact that thousands of common Indians love to read Bhagat's books whereas these literary geniuses have a readership of hardly 50. And 40 of those 50 are authors themselves. Its like they have formed a their own coterie and you have to conform to their norms and ideas and tastes to be called great!
However, the more sinister part is that Bhagat is an ardent Modi fan, for good reason. This book is a huge problem for Kaangress because perhaps it contains stuff that weans people away from Kaangress. That explains why the wentire establishment of main stream media, print and electronic media are targetting him all of a sudden!
Chetan needs lot of maturity and to know India and its Values. It is a very pure attempt to attract youth of India, thinking that all of them are fools and just read his book and get inspired.
Pizza are confused. Why? because they are disconnected from the things around them, even while crossing a busy road, they are in their own world listening to western music on iPod. What can we expect from this crowd? Please go to rural areas and small towns and see that there's not much confusion.

Sorry, but how will it be any different if the language was Indian, and music, Indian pop?
How many soaps with high TRPs or Films with 100Cr collections are English?
Please, English is for us a knowledge-language and we are lucky that it is so. Please don't put the blame where it does not belong.
What Chetan says is true for most of urban youth. They are grown up in such an environment. There is always peer pressure. The trend is increasing in such a pace that, next generation of parents think there is something wrong in their son if he is not able to manage a love marriage.
Is Bhagat truly wrong? Aren't we confused? How else, or why else, do we vote for the known corrupt politicians? Isn't cricket a true opium? Do we know right from the wrong? Really? Then why is the number of female foeticide so high in India? Why do most boys fall in line when their parents demand dowry from the girls' parents? The list is so long that it is impossible not to agree with Bhagat!
i employ more than 600 people , unfortunately all of them fit the bill, what the lady is talking about is exceptions. chhetan bahagat takes liberties but to magnify his point and not to distort it
