The Imam and the Indian

Over all these years, Amitav Ghosh has been writing non-fictional prose - reflective essays, activist pieces, political commentary, book reviews, autobiographical articles, academic expositions, translations from Bengali, and literary anthropology. This is as complete a collection as can be made of the prose which reveals that relatively unknown Amitav Ghosh: the thinker, the man of ideas as a writer of luminous, iluuminating non-fiction.
