India Environmental, human rights and anti-globalisation activist Shiva looks into the increasingly desperate situation in India, asking how the land of Buddha and Gandhi became so dangerous. Caught up in potential nuclear conflict with Pakistan, the rise of fundamentalism in its own borders, and the threat of famine and economic enslavement of its citizens to the forces of globalisation, India faces a very real crisis. This book brings together historical, philosophical and scientific thought, making it a great primer for all.
