Why The Poor Don�T Kill Us: The Psychology Of Indians
In this searing and darkly hilarious diagnosis of contemporary Indian society, acclaimed writer Manu Joseph explores why the poor don�t rise in revolt against the rich despite living in one of the most unequal regions of the world.<br><br> The poor know how much we spend in a single day, on a single meal, the price of Atlantic salmon and avocados. �Why,� he asks, �do they tolerate it? Why don�t they crawl out from their catastrophes and finish us off? Why don�t little men emerge from manholes and attack the cars? Why don�t the maids, who squat like frogs beside kitchen sinks, pull out the hair of their conscientious madams who never give them a day off? Why is there peace?� <br><br> <i>Why the Poor Don�t Kill Us</i> shows us in pitiless detail just how hypocritical and exploitative people of privilege are, and it also shows us how and why they get away with it. It�s a sharp, witty, and perceptive critique of the many faults of the India we live in.
