Description
In Butter Chicken in Ludhiana, Pankaj Mishra captures an India which has shrugged off its sleepy, socialist air, and has become instead kitschy, clamorous and ostentatious. From a convent-educated beauty pageant aspirant to small shopkeepers planning their vacation in London, Pankaj Mishra paints a vivid picture of a people rushing headlong to their tryst with modernity. An absolute classic, this is a witty and insightful account of India’s aspirational middle class.

May be this point should not be my central point of criticism since the title of the book itself probably makes the nature of narration clear.

Does the job
When I bought this book I was looking forward to visit these small towns through the author's writings. But I was somewhat disappointed as this book highlights mostly the negative side of Indian small towns and fails to mention it's raw beauty. The narration sounds more like complaints put across eloquently. This one was definitely NOT a page turner for me.
