Defragmenting India

Defragmenting India is an account of the various fault lines of Indian society narrated through the interactions between multitudes of small-town people, framed through the 2002 Hindu��uslim communal riots of Gujarat.�The book maps the urban consciousness of India, spanning different spectrums of society, and highlights issues such as the relevance of religion in today's world and the effect of the communal upheavals on the attitudes of those who experience them. Author Harish Nambiar captures the undercurrents that flow through the life of a nation, community, city, families and individuals, simultaneously cutting across narrow divisive borders.
