Title: India A Wounded Civilization
Author: V.S. Naipaul
Category: India, Human Geography
Language: English | 182 Pages | ISBN: 978-0-307-78934-1
Description:
In 1975, at the height of Indira Gandhi's "Emergency," V. S. Naipaul returned to India, the country his ancestors had left one hundred years earlier. Out of that journey he produced this concise masterpiece: a vibrant, defiantly unsentimental portrait of a society traumatized by centuries of foreign conquest and immured in a mythic vision of its past.
