A Nation of Idiots

Book Description

• Inspired by true stories, Daksh Tyagi's witty and hugely entertaining book 'An Indian citizen's guide on how to avoid A Nation of Idiots' takes on the uncomfortable, the unsettling, and the often misunderstood modern Indian life.
• WE INDIANS ARE AN INTERESTING BUNCH.
• Intolerant to the debate on intolerance, but tolerant of religious intolerance.
• We cling onto age-old traditions, but a holiday can alter our accent.
• To us, caste and community is a badge of trust, religion is a line of control and a godman is an anti-depressant.
• We won’t stop at a zebra crossing, but we will damn well stop on it.
• We build things to prove our worth and break things to prove a point.
• We love the concept of independence, but we need our parents to help raise our kids.
• And we scripted the Kamasutra.
• Easy to forget, since we also ruined sex.
• So how do we tell the real from the farcical?
• The farcical from the nutty?
• And the nutty from the downright ridiculous?
• Easy.
• We just go along.
• Daksh Tyagi's insightful 'A Nation of Idiots' is the ideal guide to surviving the modern Indian life with your scruples intact.
