On the brink of a historic general election, Ruchir Sharma presents an unparalleled portrayal of India and its democratic system, culled from his two-decade journey traversing the country, covering the equivalent distance of a complete lap around the Earth.
In Democracy on the Road, readers embark on an exhilarating adventure alongside Ruchir and his spirited group of fellow writers, as they engage in candid conversations with farmers, shopkeepers, and CEOs hailing from Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu, and conduct interviews with prominent figures such as Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi.
No other book has ventured so intimately into the heart of modern India, immersing readers in the midst of the action. Through his captivating narrative, Sharma offers a revealing glimpse into the lives and thoughts of India's political titans and its citizens, illuminating the intricate interplay of family, caste, community, economics, development, money, corruption, Bollywood, and Godmen that have shaped the election and ouster of Indian leaders since the days of Indira Gandhi.
The overarching message conveyed by Ruchir's travels is a heartening one: While democracy faces challenges in various parts of the world, it thrives in India. His journey serves as a testament to the resilience and vitality of India's democratic institutions, reinforcing the belief that India remains a beacon of hope and progress in a world often plagued by political turmoil.
