A "New York Times Book Review" Editors' Choice In "Temptations of
the West, " Pankaj Mishra brings literary authority and political
insight to bear on journeys through South Asia, and considers the
pressures of Western-style modernity and prosperity on the region.
Beginning in India, his examination takes him from the realities of
Bollywood stardom, to the history of Jawaharlal Nehru's
post-independence politics. In Kashmir, he reports on the brutal
massacre of thirty-five Sikhs, and its intriguing local aftermath.
And in Tibet, he exquisitely parses the situation whereby the
atheist Chinese government has discovered that Tibetan Buddhism can
be "packaged and sold to tourists." "Temptations of the West" is
essential reading about a conflicted and rapidly changing region of
the world.
