I thought some of the included essays were very good. Some of her other points were not compelling at all. Eventually some of the essays in the collection were very repetitious which definitely bothered me. 

Overall I think this was a decent introduction to the Indian political realm. In the future I think I will pursue further reading with different authors. I thought her points on the topic nuclear weapons were excellent, nationalism was kind of good but caste could be better. But sure this is an informative place to begin and I look forward to learning more.
