Product Overview
Many good books have been written on India, but none offers such a convincing synthesis of the political and cultural dimensions of its modern history, observes Samir Amin, while Khushwant Singh describes India Waits as a deeply disturbing work—a searing indictment of the administration, leadership, police, prisons, corruption, poverty, and the collective helplessness to change them, capturing a nation where there is “darkness in every home and tears in every eye.”
