Everybody Loves a Good Drought
Description
A landmark work of investigative reportage, this book examines the lives of India’s rural poor and the widening gap between development promises and everyday reality. Through vivid portraits, firsthand observation, and painstaking research, it reveals how poverty, drought, caste, bureaucracy, and uneven access to resources shape communities far from the centers of power. At once compassionate and incisive, the narrative challenges conventional accounts of progress while highlighting the resilience, ingenuity, and dignity of those too often overlooked.
