Meh. Really interesting, for someone who knew almost nothing about India, Pakistan, Kashmir, and all the extreme violence caused by their disagremments. However, it is really hard to understand if you are not well aquainted with the political history of India, and with Roy's other books (taking into account their meaning, context, small details). Difficult to follow, but eye-opening. Makes me want to learn more about these conflicts.
Also, it was a bit repetitive, as the chapters are usually speeches written by Roy for different occasions, and they sometimes present the same points with a similar angle.
However, I found passionating the multitude of languages, and nuances of, as well as the multicultural world in itself that is India.
