Dreamers: How Young Indians Are Changing Their World by Snigdha Poonam
5.0
i don't think i have words enough to explain what an important read this is.
the author has managed to track down several "young indians" (men mostly) and she uses each person's story to shed light on the state of contemporary india, the greyness of it, how 'success' is defined in a country so diverse and afflicted.
from scam call centres to the grave reality of showbiz in india to women trying to create a space for themselves in a male-dominated economy - the experiences are diverse, but not all-encompassing oBVIOUSLY.
it's an immersive, satisfying read. kinda leaves you dumbfounded and hopeful both at the same time.
