Books
Sharing borders with six countries and spanning a geography that extends from Pakistan to Myanmar, India is the world's largest democracy and second most populous country. Yet most of us don't understand it, or the violent history still playing out there. To tell the story of political borders, Suchitra Vijayan spent five years travelling India's 9000-mile land border. Now, in this stunning work of narrative reportage, she shares what she learned on that groundbreaking journey. The result is the granular portrait of modern India we've been missing.
