Temptations of the West: How to Be Modern in India, Pakistan, Tibet, and Beyond

Posted on March 20, 2010 By Jamal Panhwar No Comments on Temptations of the West: How to Be Modern in India, Pakistan, Tibet, and Beyond

Product Description

A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice
?
In Temptations of the West, Pankaj Mishra brings literary authority and political insight to bear on journeys through South Asia, and considers the pressures of Western-style modernity and prosperity on the region. Beginning in India, his examination takes him from the realities of Bollywood stardom, to the history of Jawaharlal Nehru’s post-independence politics. In Kashmir, he reports on the brutal massacre of thirty-five Sikhs, and its intriguing local aftermath. And in Tibet, he exquisitely parses the situation whereby the atheist Chinese government has discovered that Tibetan Buddhism can be “packaged and sold to tourists.” Temptations of the West is essential reading about a conflicted and rapidly changing region of the world.
