India in Mind (Paperback)

India in Mind Book Description

After more than fifty years of modernisation, India is far from being made over in the image of a western country... It often poses hard challenges. The reactions it evokes are complex, ranging from awe and wonder to repulsion and rejections.
India in Mind is a stunning collection of the diverse and vivid reactions that the subcontinent has evoked in the greatest writers of our time. Its twenty five pieces range from fiction and non fiction to poetry, lighting up a thousand forgotten details about the last hundred and fifty years of a changing India.
