Announcing the Monster

A collection of essays written over time, touching upon myriad dimensions of our lives and their layered connections, that are made visible by Shah’s ingenious diagnostic skills, surgical precision, and a poetic power of healing. His conviction in the freedom of speech and creative strength of criticism and his living definition of nationalism – asking the correct questions at the correct time – underlies these essays on Indian society, its politics, communalism, science, media and the medical world.
