À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'A decade or so ago, people I loved began to go mad...' So begins The New India, the unforgettable account of the struggle between modern forces and ancient ideas to shape the young country's destiny. Based on six years of detailed research and on-the-ground reporting, the book builds to become the story of post-colonial India.

'Meticulously researched... a portrait of how medieval religious sectarianism, modern majoritarianism, deepening poverty, all lashed together by the world's most ambitious data gathering project is driving India towards an alarming, unique model of authoritarianism. A serious subject, seriously addressed' Arundhati Roy

'Bhatia gives us some brilliant on-the-ground reportage' Pratinav Anil, The Times

'One of the essential books for anyone interested in preserving democracy today' Jason Stanley, author of How Propaganda Works

'The New India is a tour de force, and it will be one of the defining books of the Modi era' Samanth Subramanian
