Amitava Kumar is a sensitive, probing, erudite writer, always ready to question others and himself. It turns out his ceaseless curiosity and skepticism is the best way to write about India in all its complexity and heterogeneity--his is a fascinating mind turned towards a crucial subject. --Edmund White, author of Inside a Pearl: My Years in Paris

The interconnected world may be a cliche, but we don't often see its real connections. Amitava Kumar illuminates many of them here with his signature mix of unappeasable curiosity, cool skepticism, and shrewd intelligence. --Pankaj Mishra, author of From the Ruins of Empire: The Revolt Against the West and the Remaking of Asia
