Area of Darkness V S Naipaul Picador - Travel World guideThis book represents Naipauls last word on his homeland, complementing his two other India travelogues, An Area of Darkness and India: A Wounded Civilization. His prolific writing career includes works such as A House for Mr. Argumentative Indian by Amartya Sen, India : A wounded civilization and Maximum city by Suketu Mehta (fiction) are other books one can try.

The crisis of India is not only political or economic. The author was on a second cross country visit. Biswas, India: A Wounded Civilization, An Area of Darkness, India: A Million Mutinies Now, and A Bend in the River.

India: a Wounded Civilization by V.S.Naipaul The second book in his Trilogy about India. I had earlier posted an extract from Naipaul's 1977 book India: A Wounded Civilization, where he writes with the prescience of a sage (and the tongue of a shrew) about the roiling turbulence and disarray of India's institutions. The book is very entertaining, though at times depressing. I am reading V.S Naipauls's "A Wounded Civilization" courtesy vishal. Really, he should have just titled it India: Allow Me To Bitch at You for 161 Pages. Came to India to survey the land and record his impressions.
