Book: India: A Aounded Civilization
This is the second book in the Indian Triology of V.S. Naipaul comprising of An Area of Darkness, India: A Wounded Civilization and India: A Million Mutinies Now.

It was on his third visit to India, prompted by the Emergency of 1975, that Naipaul came to write India: A Wounded Civilization. In this work Naipaul casts a more analytical eye than before over Indian attitudes, while recapitulating and probing the feelings previously aroused in him by this vast, mysterious and agonised continent. What he saw and heard on this visit - evoked so superbly and vivdly in these pages - reinforced in him a conviction that India, wounded by many centuries of foreign rule, has not yet found an ideology of regeneration. A work of fierce candour and precision, it is also a generous description of one man's complicated relationship with the country of his ancestors.

A devastating work, but proof that a novelist of Naipauls stature can often define problems quicker and more effectively than a team of economists and experts.
