First Draft of Inner Content of Indian CS & IT Academic Reform (Past) Blog Book is ready!

Here's the first draft of inner content of my in-progress book titled, "Indian Computer Science (CS) & Information Technology (IT) Academic Reform (Past) Activism Blog Book" and sub-titled "eklavyasai.blogspot.com (main work years: 2011 to 2014)": https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CPE9bG2RAb0-YsIByuIbdZDJLv60eVTv (4.4 MB, 186 pages of A4 size).

It has a Word generated Table of Contents with some manual addition of section headers. Note that the Table of Contents (TOC) entries are clickable (hyperlinked to associated chapters in book) but Google Docs (default viewer for Google Drive for pdf file) does not render that functionality. Downloading the file to computer and then opening in Chrome browser or Foxit Reader program allows user to use the clickable TOC functionality.

I need to proofread this first draft and make any required changes. Then or perhaps in parallel, I need to work on the cover page which I plan to keep as a simple one as I think that the book will interest only a niche audience interested in improving teaching of software development in Indian Computer Science and Information Technology academia. I think this audience will be fine with a simple cover page and will be more interested in having a look at the table of contents to see whether they should invest their time in reading/browsing through parts/whole of the book.
