Málokdo dokáže o Indii vyprávět tak jako Mark Tully, rodák z Kalkaty a bývalý šéf indické BBC. Kniha představuje strhující expedici po druhé nejlidnatější zemi světa, která se snaží stát největší světovou ekonomikou. Autorův pozorovací a vypravěčský talent činí jeho slova o Indii relevantní nejen pro největší demokracii, ale i pro Středoevropany. Tully promyšleně volí témata kapitol, aby se dotkl hlubších a obecnějších problémů. Například kapitola "Kasty vzhůru nohama" zkoumá postavení dřívějších nedotknutelných a zákulisí voleb a politikaření. Zajímavé jsou i paralely se společenskými změnami od ekonomických reforem zahájených v roce 1991. V první kapitole se vypravíme za maoistickými guerillami, které operují na části indického subkontinentu. Autorova žurnalistická technika se projevuje v rozhovorech s partyzány i generály policie, přičemž se staví na stranu obyčejných občanů. Sir Mark Tully, jako zkušený žurnalista, procestoval celý subkontinent a setkal se s mnoha osobnostmi od politických hvězd po kapitány průmyslu. Putování s takovým průvodcem je skutečně mimořádným zážitkem.
