India: A Million Mutinies
Author: V.S. Naipaul
India: A Million Mutinies is the third book of Naipaul's acclaimed Indian trilogy, which includes An Area of Darkness and India: A Wounded Civilization. The book relates the stories of many of the people Naipaul met travelling in India more than 50 years ago. He explores the contradictions and compromises of religious faith, the whim and chaos of random political forces that formed the innumerable frictions present in Indian society.
What they say:
"Typical Naipaul -- brilliantly lucid, terse, with something hard-bitten yet resigned in theemotional background."
-- The New York Times Book Review
