HALLYU AND WORLD PEACE

About the Book

The books attempts to depict hallyu as a global thermal force transforming the mindset of whole humanity to be conducive to the realization of world peace. Each essay tries to point out salient features of selective countries directly or indirectly elucidating the road to world peace. My great regret is that due to my advanced age and manifold disabilities, the number of countries are curtailed. The book tries to illuminate the various roads to reach the promised land. The work is a personal journey in the darkness groping ways to reach the utopia. This work is a confessional memoir.
