If you cannot get into IIT/NITs, the only option left is private colleges or to become a watchman (Seriously, he wrote that). Bhagat implies it on every page that it’s either IIT/NIT or bust. Two boys try to get into IIT/NIT in order to become engineers. To say that the story is extremely shallow might be the understatement of the year. You almost feel that Bhagat wanted to cash in on the Anna Hazare movement against corruption. Instead, it becomes a highly clichéd love story which has nothing to do with revolution whatsoever.
But, Revolution 2020 never even comes close to that. When you name your novel Revolution 2020, one expects a kind of soul searching, revolutionary story about a country that needs change more than ever.
