By Anand Giridharadas"Giridharadas (columnist, International Herald Tribune) is a first-generation American whose parents migrated from India in the 1970s to "beat the odds of a bad system" in their native country. In a reverse migration, the author now reports on the way in which that system has changed. He argues that there has been a psychological change in India and a revolution in private life as well. Like a morality play, each chapter reflects a different inner quality, while woven together in the narrative are bits of the author's family history. The portraits—a Mumbai migrant worker, a lower-caste entrepreneur who owns finishing schools, the industrialist Mukesh Ambani, a septuagenarian Marxist poet, single working women, and the saga of two brothers—show the myriad ways in which India has changed and yet remains the same."
