Om denne bog

''What happens once democracy has been used up? When it has been hollowed out and emptied of meaning?''

Combining brilliant insight and razor-sharp prose, Listening to Grasshoppers is Arundhati Roy''s essential exploration of the political picture in India today. In these essays she takes a hard look at the underbelly of the world''s largest democracy and shows how the journey that Hindu nationalism and neo-liberal economic reforms began together in the early 1990s is unravelling in dangerous ways.

Beginning with the state-backed killing of Muslims in Gujarat in 2002, and ending with an analysis of the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai, Listening to Grasshoppers tracks the fault-lines that threaten to destroy India''s precarious future and, along the way, asks fundamental questions about democracy itself - a political system that has, by virtue of being considered ''the best available option'', been put beyond doubt and correction.
