This book is a satirical social commentary on contemporary India, and it employs, via parody, the literature of one`s childhood as a means to exploring the society in which we live.
In the last decade or so, elements of India`s elite population have come to consider it a matter of legitimate urgency for the country to be recognized, in quick order, as a superpower, a permanent member of the United Nations` Security Council, and Number One in the international cricket ratings. But are these, really, the things that ought to go into the making of the Idea of India?
Economic Offences affords the reader an opportunity to wonder if the most patriotic ambition an Indian citizen can entertain for the country resides in the notion of `India Shining`, or `India Rising`, or some similar mentally undemanding celebration.
