It is the world’s most populous democracy, but still upholds the caste system. It is a burgeoning economic superpower, but ranks among the poorest nations on earth. It is home to the world’s largest film industry after Hollywood, as well as two still-practised religions that are millennia old. It is an ancient civilization celebrating more than half a century as a modern nation. Mehta is fascinated by India in all its rich detail and gives a loving but unflinching assessment of India today in an account that is entertaining, informative, and wholly personal. About the AuthorGita Mehta is a bestselling author and has written articles for a number of Indian, European and American magazines.

She lives in New York, London and India.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH INDIA LOCAL PRINT","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46296399708311,"sku":"9780143424369","price":228.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143424369.webp?v=1769304625","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/snakes-and-ladders-9780143424369","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
