S. Naipaul’s first trip to India and this fascinating account of his return journey focuses on India’s development since independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Taking an anti-clockwise journey around the metropolises of India – including Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, and Delhi – Naipaul offers a kaleidoscopic, layered travelogue, encompassing a wide collage of religions, castes, and classes at a time when the percolating ideas of freedom threatened to shake loose the old ways. The brilliance of the book lies in Naipaul’s decision to approach this shifting, changing land from a variety of perspectives: the author humbly recedes, allowing the Indians to tell the stories of their own lives, and a dynamic oral history of India emerges before our eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ‘With this book he may well have written his own enduring monument, in prose at once stirring and intensely personal, distinguished both by style and critical acumen’ \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45250585755827,"sku":"9780330519861","price":720.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/81X2QDtgLkL.jpg?v=1769772163","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/indiaa-million-mutinies-now-oxfordbookstore","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
