Description
India Calling: An Intimate Portrait of a Nation's Remaking by Anand Giridharadas As Anand Giridharadas prepared to return to his ancestral homeland, he was struck by the contrast between the economic boom and the cultural upheaval that defined India today. This memoir brings to life the people and dilemmas of modern India through the lens of his own émigré family history and childhood memories. Through stories of entrepreneurs, radicals, industrialists, and religious seekers, Giridharadas paints a nuanced portrait of a country navigating its past while embracing its future. At the heart of this narrative are Indian families, whose experiences offer a unique perspective on the nation's transformation. By exploring the complexities of India's modern identity, Giridharadas offers a thought-provoking and deeply personal account of a nation in flux.
