The Defeat of a Congress-Man: and Other Parables of Modern India

By Mark Tully

Here, BBC correspondent Tully, a Calcutta native who lives in New Delhi, describes India as a functioning anarchy, a corrupt, chaotic place whose denizens often must pay bribes even to get a bank loan. Tully limns an India torn between rabidly imitating the West and clinging to traditional values.
