Sunil Khilnani on India and his new book Incarnations: India In 50 Lives

2018-02-16 14

Sunil Khilnani’s last major book was about how India is constituted by its politics. His new book, Incarnations: India In 50 Lives, is about how Indians are constituted by theirs.

A capacious work, Incarnations consists of interpretative—and sometimes argumentative—essays about 50 people whose life and work have echoed through a 2,500-year span of Indian history.
