Book Review: Manu Joseph Explores Indian Psychology

Book Review: Manu Joseph Explores Indian Psychology

This book review discusses Manu Joseph's new book about why poor people in India don’t resort to violence.

The book criticizes how rich people live in protected communities, escaping the problems of the wider country.

The reviewer finds Joseph's writing is clever, but sometimes misses key points.

It touches on topics like caste, religion, and inequality, but the reviewer believes it could have gone deeper.

It questions who the book is really for, suggesting it may only appeal to the wealthy, who are the very people the author criticizes.
