India Waits is a most disturbing book, written by the son of the Nobel laureate Gunnar Myrdal and his wife Alva, who was Swedish Amabassador in Delhi, and illustrated by his wife, Gun.

They see ‘darkness in every home, tears in every eye.’ They ask, ‘To whom does power belong? To whom happiness? For whom is the land milked? So that some starve while others reap bounty?’
