India is poised to become one of the world's three largest economies in the next generation and to overtake China as the world's most populous country by 2032. Well before then India's incipient nuclear deterrent will have acquired intercontinental range and air, sea and land capabilities. India's volatile relationship with its nuclear-armed neighbour, Pakistan, may prove to be the source of the world's next major conflict. And if you call anyone -- from your bank to rail enquiries -- your query may well be dealt with by a graduate in Gujarat. Any way one looks at it, India's fate matters. In IN SPITE OF THE GODS, Edward Luce, one of the most incisive and talented journalists of his generation, will assess the forces that are forging the new nation. Cutting through the miasma that still clouds thinking about India, this extraordinarily accomplished book takes the measure of a society that is struggling to come to grips with modernity.Drawing on historical research, existing literature and his own unparalleled access as the New Delhi-based, South Asia correspondent of the FT, this is a book that will enthral as well as educate and will remain the definitive book on the country for many years.

这本书最大的特点，就是内容全面，权威，也许还要加上：很有时效——这是印度2006年的畅销书之一，延至一年后才出了中文版，出版操作算是快的吧。毕竟这不是《哈利波特》，出版商不可能追求如此的速度，而且中信出版社的翻译质量应该比较靠谱（新星出版社的新书翻译就差多了）...  

之所以看这本书，是因为最近刚刚看完阉割版的中国近代史，副标题是《The rise of mordern china》。 没过几天看到这本有关印度近代史的，副标题居然是《The strange rise of mordern india》,不免好奇，同样是雄起，印度的雄起为啥非要加个“奇怪的”呢？ 这本书看下来，大概...  

刚上大学的时候在一本文摘杂志上读到一篇<<令中国知识分子惭秽的印度知识分子>>，摘自2003年的<<上海文学>>。文中描述的印度知识分子在城市里有着令人羡慕的职业，他们却放弃自己的舒适生活像苦行僧般地到农村去做义工，几十年如一日地扶持弱势群体。比如文中的N律师，“帮...

在阅读《不顾诸神：现代印度的奇怪崛起》这本书的过程中，在2020年6月15日晚，中印时隔多年后再次爆发边界冲突，再联系近两年来风云变幻的中美关系，是很值得人玩味的。 本书是典型的西方视角，作者是金融时报的驻印记者，但他也是印度女婿，其岳父母分别是政府高官和大学教授...
