En 'Butter chicken en Ludhiana', Pankaj Mishra nos lleva en un viaje a través de la India provinciana, explorando ciudades pequeñas y a menudo olvidadas por las guías turísticas. Con una mirada irónica, Mishra analiza las causas del deterioro ambiental y social en la India, desde la influencia del 'dinero fresco' hasta la imitación fraudulenta de modelos de consumo occidentales. A través de sus encuentros, el autor nos presenta un universo en cambio, donde las formas de vida ancestrales luchan por sobrevivir en un mundo cada vez más moderno y globalizado.
