The stage of India's democracy is the lampoonist's dream. Journalist and columnist Pamela Philipose brings to life twenty avatars of the politician that inhabit the political city of Indiaprastha. Among these notables are the boneless sycophant, the mixer-fixer, the moneybag in spotless white, the security hazard on wheels, the godman guardian and the never-say-bye leader. Accompanied by caricatures, biting and witty, this book is a rollicking read that mirrors the complex and often absurd world of Indian politics.
