Description
Arundhati Roy examines the dark side of Indian democracy, where the country's 100 richest people own assets worth a quarter of India's gross domestic product. The nation is haunted by the ghosts of hundreds of thousands of farmers who have taken their own lives to escape crushing debt, and millions who live on less than two dollars a day. This searing portrait reveals how the largest democracy in the world answers to the demands of globalized capitalism, subjecting millions to inequality and exploitation.
