Synopsis

A Visual Discovery of India

In which Indian city are the most number of languages spoken?

Where will the next 100 babies in India be born?

Why do only 3% of adult Indians pay income tax?

India and its intricacies could be explained endlessly, and it would still amaze you. The bewildering diversity of its people, cultures, food, languages, and just about everything else is hard to grasp at times. For instance, every Indian can fit in Kerala if we all lived as densely as the people in northeast Delhi do; 56 mother tongues--and they are all 'Hindi'; almost nobody is unemployed in India after the age of 29.

These and other facts behind the headlines, and the questions they raise about how we live, work, and govern, are presented as accessible visuals in this richly informative book. 100 Ways to See India: Stats, Stories, and Surprises offers a portrait of India more than seven decades after Independence: where we stand, and where the trends suggest we may be headed.
