Roy onderzoekt de schaduwkant van de democratie in haar thuisland India. Cultureel nationalisme en neofascisme komen aan de oppervlakte van een land dat zichzelf beschouwt als de grootste democratie ter wereld. Roy beschrijft de systematische onderdrukking van religieuze en etnische minderheden, de toename van terroristische aanslagen en het lot van de armen die massaal uit hun woningen worden gejaagd door roofzuchtige bedrijven. Verder schrijft ze onder meer over de burgerlijke opstanden tegen de militaire bezetting en anayseert ze de aanslagen in Mumbai van november 2008.

An intimate journey of many years across the Indian subcontinent -- from the cramped neighborhoods of Old Delhi and the roads of the new city to the mountains and valleys of Kashmir and beyond, where war is peace and peace is war. The tale begins with Anjum -- who used to be Aftab -- unrolling a threadbare Persian carpet in a city graveyard she calls home. We encounter the odd Tilo and the men who loved her -- including Musa, sweetheart and ex-sweetheart, lover and ex-lover. Their fates are as entwined as their arms used to be and always will be. We meet Tilo's landlord, a former suitor, now an intelligence officer posted to Kabul. And then we meet the two Miss Jebeens: the first a child born in Srinagar and buried in its overcrowded Martyrs' Graveyard; the second found at midnight, abandoned on a concrete sidewalk in the heart of New Delhi.
