In Spite Of The Gods, By Edward Luce
https://www.amazon.com/Spite-Gods-Rise-Modern-India/dp/1400079772?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
This is a really good read. The author goes into what's up with modern India. Lots of interviews, its basically a description of all of the things he's seen in his reporting on India. In particular, he focuses on the damage that is done by the myth of India as this uniquely spiritual land. For me, as a dude from America, where we use a two party system, the chapters on how politics works in the largest democracy in the world (and how it interacts with the caste system) was really interesting.
