Résumé

MARK TULLY is incomparable. No one has a greater understanding of the passions, the contradictions, the humour, the tragedy and the staggering resilience that constitute India. In his long awaited new book, he and his partner, Gillian Wright, delve further than ever before into this country of one billion people, attempting to unravel a culture and a land that maddeningly, but also charmingly, resists unravelling. Covering subjects as diverse as Hindu extremism, bonded child labour, Sufi mysticism, the crisis in agriculture, the persistence of political corruption and the problem of Kashmir, they paint a picture of India at once poignant, funny, startling, hugely entertaining and deeply humane.
