A political science professor at the University of Hyderabad, Vasanthi Srinivasan is clearly also at home in other disciplines such as philosophy, religion and history. The width of her engagement comes across in this slim book, which contains a larger text than what its thickness might suggest. Although this reviewer’s eyes were hurt by the book’s tiny font, that font compresses more than 500 words into each page.
