The second book in V. S. Naipaul's acclaimed Indian trilogy. In
1964 V. S. Naipaul published An Area of Darkness, his
semi-autobiographical account of a year in India. Two visits later,
prompted by the Emergency of 1975, he came to write India: A
Wounded Civilization. In this work he casts a more analytical eye
than before over Indian attitudes, while recapitulating and further
probing the feelings aroused in him by this vast, mysterious, and
agonized country. What he saw and heard - evoked so superbly and
vividly in these pages - reinforced in him a conviction that India,
wounded by a thousand years of foreign rule, has not yet found an
ideology of regeneration. A work of fierce candour and precision,
it is also a generous description of one man's complicated
relationship with the country of his ancestors. 'A devastating
work, but proof that a novelist of Naipaul's stature can often
define problems quicker and more effectively than a team of
economists and other experts' The Times
