V. S. Naipaulin teos tarjoaa vaikuttavan näkemyksen Intian muuttuvasta yhteiskunnasta ja kulttuurista globaalin kehityksen keskellä.
A generation has passed since V.S. Naipaul first visited India, his home from home. Even in 1962, it was for him a bewildering encounter, and one which he eloquently conveyed in the highly controversial An Area of Darkness.
Now, Naipaul returns to find a civilisation profoundly changed by the modern world. Once untouched by tourism, finance and big business, India's economy is expanding, her stockmarkets booming, her cities swelling with whole populations who have come and camped. As he revisits people, places and all the points of the subcontinent's vast compass, he observes how progress strains the complex ties of faith and family.
Intricate in structure, compassionate in contention, India: A Million Mutinies Now contains a little of all that is India, that most mysterious and fascinating of countries.
