...unenviable position of serving as Dean during the school’s—through no fault of his—most significant financial crisis,” wrote FAS Associate Dean Robert G.

Roy couldn't care a whit for such subtleties - yet to fault her for that is to miss the point of a polemic. She demands an emotive response to the horrible injustices that go largely unnoticed in a world distracted by images of cricket gods, Bollywood glamour and Nano cars. In language of terrible beauty, she takes India's everyday tragedies and reminds...
