India in Love - Ira Trivedi (2014)

A book that will be remembered as the ultimate book of personal relationships of Indians of post liberalization. Talking about sex, marriage, social changes, divorce, there is hardly any aspects that has not been addressed in the book spanning over 400 pages. Remarkably detailed and exploring every of the views like scriptures, law, traditional practices. The author's interests in research can be easily understood from the detailed interviews she has taken and places she has visited which can be considered as places angels fear to tread. The book essentially divided into two parts part one on sex and second on love and family. The apt classification makes it a new dimension to look at culturally diverse a society India is.

A book that's unputdownable and definitely the author will leave a substantial mark in history on her authorship.
