Download Incarnations: India in Fifty Lives AudioBook Free
For all of India's myths, its sea of stories and moral epics, Indian record remains a curiously unpeopled place. In Incarnations, Sunil Khilnani fills that space, recapturing the human being dimension of the way the world's greatest democracy had become. His trenchant portraits of emperors, warriors, philosophers, film personalities, and corporate titans - some famous, some unjustly ignored - bring feeling, wry laughter, and uncommon insight to dilemmas that extend from ancient times to your own. As he journeys across the country and through its past, Khilnani uncovers more than simply record. In rocket launches and ayurvedic call centers, in slum temples and Bollywood studios, in California communes and grimy jacks, he examines the continuing, and often amazing, relevance of the men and women who have made India - and the world - what it is. We face the Buddha, "the first human being personality"; the ancient Sanskrit linguist who inspires computer developers today; the wit and guile of India's Machiavelli; and the middle ages poets who mocked rituals and caste. Incarnations is an excellent benefits to India, and a provocative and advanced reinterpretation of its record.
