About this book

India: A wounded civilization by NAIPAUL, V.S.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780233969367.

Returning to India -- the subject of his acclaimed An Area of Darkness -- in 1975, at the height of Indira Gandhis Emergency, V. S. Naipaul produced this concise masterpiece of journalism and cultural analysis, a vibrant, defiantly unsentimental portrait of a society traumatized by repeated foreign invasions and immured in a mythic vision of its past. Drawing on novels, news reports, and political memoirs -- but most of all on his conversations with ordinary Indians, from princes to engineers to feudal village autocrats -- Naipaul captures Indias manifold complexities.
