"A splendid--and timely--book . . . Spirited, combative and
insight-filled . . . Khilnani has woven a rich analysis of
contemporary India and its evolution since independence." --Amartya
Sen, The Times Literary Supplement "A masterful rebuttal to all
cultural romantics and religious chauvinists . . . [A] splendid
book about definitions of the Indian nation." --Ian Buruma, The New
York Review of Books
"Khilnani writes with illuminating dexterity, wit and compassion,
and India springs to life through his words." --Judith M. Brown,
The New York Times Book Review "[A] short and brilliant book . . .
[which] is difficult to praise too highly . . . [It] manages in the
space of 200 pages to identify, unravel and explain many of the
complexities of modern India." --David Gilmour, The Independent on
Sunday
