This book challenges the preconceived notions that other as well as those in India have of this diverse country. The author, Sir Mark Tully has spent many years in India trying to demystify a country that thrives on mystery. From the convoluted agendas of political parties to the diversity of culture that drives India, Tully's versatile writing style portrays a volatile yet vibrant image of India. In his essays, he explores the political and social aspects of India from the Indira Gandhi era to contemporary, modern-day India. He covers many hard hitting topics including the Hindutva movement, Kashmir, child workers in the carpet industry, farmer suicides, Sufism in India and the Indianization of Christianity in India. Tully has peppered the book with anecdotes of his travels through India, from the people he has met to the things he has seen. A book that is perfect for those who want to learn more about contemporary India and how it got there, from the pervasive corruption that plagues the country, to the everyday heroes who try to save it, India in Slow Motion is thought provoking and insightful
