From acclaimed writer Arundhati Roy comes this stunning snapshot of the real India. Combining brilliant analysis and reportage, Roy examines the true nature of progress and development in the emerging superpower.
Spanning over 4 years and covering hundreds of miles, Roy's commentary encapsulates the gamut of Indian experience. From militants to labourers the author documents all these people and in turn asks us some fundamental questions about the cost and triumph of modern civillisation itself.
