Constantly reframed and mythicised by Westerners fleeing their supposedly rationalist societies, India continues to fascinate with its millennia-old history, its shrines on every street corner, its ancient beliefs and rituals, and its unique linguistic and cultural diversity. Today this picture is mixed with that of a society that is changing at a frenetic pace and is at the forefront of the digital revolution--a "shining India" of dynamic, fast-expanding megalopolises. Yet, these success stories coexist with the daily plight of the large section of India's population without access to drinking water or a toilet, with a rural economy (still employing the majority of India's over 1.3 billion inhabitants) that depends on monsoons for irrigation and is threatened by climate change. The greatest democratic experiment ever attempted, India remains plagued by one of the vilest forms of class and racial discrimination, the caste system, which is being exacerbated by the Hindu nationalist regime currently in power. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and discography. 505 00 $a India's Existential Challenge / Prem Shankar Jha -- In/visible: A Woman's Place in India / Tishani Doshi -- Rocket on a Bicycle / Susmita Mohanty -- The Monsoon: A Gamble on the Rains / $r The Economist -- Ogo Shuncho! / Anindya Roy -- Holding Back the Night: Secularism Under Siege / Julia Lauter -- Against Caste / Arundhati Roy -- Cut to Switzerland! / Juhi Saklani -- The Blood of Tulips / Mirza Waheed -- In the Ring with India's Most Powerful Woman / Sonia Faleiro -- There's No Such Thing as Indian Literature / Arunava Sinha. 651 0 $a India $x Civilization. 651 0 $a India $x Social life and customs. 651 6 $a Inde $x Civilisation. 651 6 $a Inde $x M¿urs et coutumes. 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 700 1 $a Squarci, Gaia, $e photographer. 700 1 $a Massa, Edoardo, $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Buffa, Pietro, $e cartographer. 700 1 $a Guerzoni, Gioia, $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781787702974 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023926.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95B08C50851711EEB4A9908744ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
