1991. The year the Indian economy opened up to the world and unleashed a billion desires and dreams. But who are these restless dreamers?
This is a very private story of a very public middle-class consumption revolution. From proselytizing American schools in Calcutta to Page-3 parties in Delhi and television studios in Bombay, The Liberals brings to life unforgettable characters spawned by the needs of the worlds largest democracy. Communist Bob Dylans jam with murderous villagers, girlfriends give lessons in capitalism, TV stylists snarl over white shirts, Amar Singh talks about love and Akshay Kumar about what it takes to be the boy next door. Through it all, Hindol Sengupta lives to tell the tale of GDP rising.
This is the autobiography of liberalization, entertaining and immensely relatable, and an insiders account of finding ones place in a newly liberalized India.
