India: A Wounded civilization
V. S. Naipaul's India: A Wounded Civilization is both a personal reflection and a trenchant analysis of India, written after his visit to the country in 1975 during the Emergency. Naipaul examines India's complex history, religion, and social structure, arguing that centuries of foreign rule have left deep psychological and cultural scars. He depicts a nation grappling with poverty, disillusionment, and its own fragmented identity, while questioning whether a cohesive national ideology can truly emerge. Through forceful language and critical observation, Naipaul presents a portrait of India that is both empathetic and unabashedly critical.
