À propos de cet audio

 Acclaimed across the world, prescribed in over 100 universities and colleges, and included in part in The Century's Greatest Reportage (Ordfront, 2000), alongside the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Studs Terkel and John Reed, Everybody Loves a Good Drought is the established classic on rural poverty in India. Twenty years after publication, it remains unsurpassed in the scope and depth of reportage, providing an intimate view of the daily struggles of the poor and the efforts, often ludicrous, made to uplift them.

An illuminating introduction accompanying this twentieth-anniversary edition reveals, alarmingly, how a large section of India continues to suffer in the name of development so that a small percentage may prosper. Besides exposing chronic misgovernance, it is also a devastating comment on the media's failure to speak for the voiceless.

The poorest are kept poor while the rich get richer and everyone in between cheats, lies and swindles to get a share.
This book should be required reading in schools in India. The author lays out the wide-spread corruption even to the point of drought relief funds going to places that have plenty of rainfall whilst other parched areas are left to cope or die.
I highly recommend the book.
A sad and serious topic but told with a compassionate voice.
I listened to the audio-book version and the reader was perfect.

A sad commentary on CORRUPTION in India.
