Rural India unveiled, bitter truths exposed.
This book is a great read for those interested in understanding the ground reality of rural India and how policies have failed the people living there. It exposes the harsh truth about the lives of people who are marginalized and forgotten by the mainstream media and politics. The book is unique in the sense that it provides an insight into the lives of people who are hardly noticed by the government and society.

Description
In this thoroughly researched study of the poorest of the poor in India, we get to see how they manage, what sustains them, and the efforts, often ludicrous, to do something for them. The people who figure in this book tipify the lives and aspirations of a large section of the Indian society, and their stories present us with the true face of development.
