A little over a decade ago, Pankaj Mishra traveled through the small towns of India & found they had shed their sleepy, half-apologetic air; brash & ostentatious, kitschy & clamorous, here was an India in transition. A convent-educated young woman from Jhansi aspiring to be a beauty queen; a rich young man in Gujarat speaking casually of murdering Muslims; Naxalites in Bihar trying to foment revolution; small shopkeepers planning a vacation in London
- Mishra captured, with irony & humor, a people rushing headlong to their tryst with modernity. ' Butter Chicken in Ludhiana is a marvelous travel book about small-town India, where the village & the city, the folk & the kitsch, & the comic & the violent threaten to converge'
- Ashis Nandy. 'A love-letter to the real republic. No other book defines as clearly, & with such troubled irony, our last decade of change'
- Amitava Kumar.
