Naipaul travels through the India of 1990 and portrays a society in transformation where the modern and the traditional coexist. Through testimonies from different communities —pariahs, Sikhs, Tamils, Brahmins, Shias— he addresses the conflict between Muslims and Hindus, the role of women, rituals, Indian cinema, literature, and the caste system.

The work is aimed at readers interested in contemporary India, travel literature, and social essay.
Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was a Trinidad and Tobago-born British writer renowned for his works of fiction and nonfiction in English. He is known for his comic early novels set in Trinidad, his bleaker novels of alienation in the wider world, and his vigilant chronicles of life and travels. He wrote in prose that was widely admired, but his views sometimes aroused controversy. He published more than thirty books over fifty years.
