Exploring the Indian subcontinent over a decade, the author uncovers the complexities of the region during what is termed Kali Yug, the "age of darkness." His journey reveals a tapestry of diverse characters, from a Hindi rap star to the Tamil Tigers and Pakistani drug lords, highlighting the stark contrasts of political corruption and social turmoil. The narrative blends a deep affection for the subcontinent with poignant insights into its struggles between modernity and tradition, creating a vibrant yet somber travelogue of a rapidly changing landscape.
