Economic Offences

A Compendium of Crimes in Prose and Verse

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In the last decade or so, and at a dizzyingly increasing rate, India has come to be recognized as 'a force to reckon with'. This book is a satirical social commentary on contemporary India. Employing the literature of one's childhood and evocative line drawings, the book casts a critical eye on an unflattering list of the nation's real or imagined concerns: from caste, pseudosecularism, minorityism, poverty, tradition, modernity, and postcoloniality to liberalization, corruption, competition, nationalism, and NRI-ism.
