Notable Work

Five Point Someone

Bhagat started with fictional work namely “Five Point Someone” (his first book) which got huge success back in 2004. In 2012 he released his first Non-Fictional book “What Young India Wants”, focusing on the needs, mindsets, passion and methods of younger generations and the problems they are facing in achieving it. Though all the books by Bhagat have earned very well and remained best sellers for long times, the best book (personal recommendation) by Bhagat is “2 states” which is inspired by his own life story and depicts the dilemma and mindsets of Indian society in marriage of Boy and Girl, and checking each other
