Capitalism: A Ghost Story by Arundhati Roy provides a critical examination of the dark underbelly of Indian democracy. With a population of 1.2 billion, the book unveils the stark reality where the top 100 richest individuals in India own assets equivalent to a quarter of the country's gross domestic product. Roy's writing exposes the haunting challenges faced by the nation, from the plight of farmers burdened by debt to the struggles of hundreds of millions living on meager incomes. The book illuminates how India, as the world's largest democracy, grapples with the demands of globalized capitalism, leading to widespread inequality and exploitation.
