The Beautiful and the Damned: A Portrait of the New India. by Siddhartha Deb by Siddhartha Deb

claire_melanie's review against another edition

5.0

A very thought provoking book on the rapid changes taking place in India and the very human cost they are having. Didn't leave you with much sense of hope for the future of the land and its people. Seems very destructive, alienating and unsustainable.

Intriguing and surreal, it is almost painful reading. Makes one realize exactly how much we take for granted in the West.
