In Butter Chicken in Ludhiana, Pankaj Mishra captures an India which has shrugged off its sleepy, socialist air and has become instead kitschy, clamorous and ostentatious. From a convent educated beauty pageant aspirant to small shopkeepers planning their vacation in London, Pankaj Mishra paints a vivid picture of a people rushing headlong to their tryst with modernity. An absolute classic, this is a witty and insightful account of Indias aspirational middle class.

Against The Grain: Lessons From The Outliers

Pankaj mishra's provocative account of how china, india and the muslim world are remaking the world in their own image - shortlisted for the orwell prize 2013shortlisted for the orwell prize 2013viewed in the west as a time of self-confident progress, the victorian period was experienced by asians as a catastrophe. As the british gunned down the last heirs to the mughal empire or burned down the summer palace in beijing, it was clear that for asia to recover a new way of thinking was needed. Pankaj mishra re-tells the history of the past two centuries, showing how a remarkable, disparate group of thinkers, journalists, radicals and charismatics emerged from the ruins of empire to create an unstoppable asian renaissance, one whose ideas lie behind everything from the chinese communist party to the muslim brotherhood, and have made our world what it is today.reviews:'arrestingly original ...
