In India in Slow Motion, Mark Tully and Gillian Wright take readers across a diverse India, examining the forces that influence its political, social and cultural life. Their subjects range from caste and religion to agriculture, corruption, Kashmir, Hindu extremism, child labour and Sufi traditions.
The authors challenge familiar stereotypes about India and focus instead on the complexity and resilience of its people. Combining observation with reportage and analysis, the book asks how a vast and diverse democracy continues to function despite its many contradictions and problems.
