Description
This text travels to 10 different sacred places in India: five are Hindu; the other five represent each of the world's other great religions. Covering subjects such as Hindu extremism, bonded child labour, Sufi mysticism, the crisis in agriculture, political corruption and the problem of Kashmir, the author paints a picture of India that is at once poignant, funny, startling and humane.
