Suketu Mehta is a New York-based author best known for Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found, a 2004 book about the hidden side of Mumbai that won the Kiriyama Prize and the Hutch Crossword Award and was a finalist for the 2005 Pulitzer Prize. His later book This Land Is Our Land: An Immigrant's Manifesto, published in 2019, argues that the right to migrate is overdue reparation for colonial exploitation. Mehta has also written screenplays, including New York, I Love You and Mission Kashmir with Vikram Chandra, and his reporting and essays have appeared in The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine.
