Synopsis

In India in Slow Motion Mark Tully undertakes a journey that has no true beginning or end, seeking to unravel the mysteries lying at the heart of the country of his birth. Exploring Hindu extremism, child labour, Sufi mysticism, the crisis in agriculture, political corruption and Kashmir, he challenges our preconceptions of India – as well as those India has about itself – to create a thoughtful, humorous and deeply profound portrait of a country at odds with itself. Like no other writer, Mark Tully brings modern India and its people vibrantly to life.

Reviews

Critic Review:

‘Tully challenges the preconceptions others have about this land of contrasts, as well as those India has about itself. In doing so, he beautifully brings the country and its people to life’ 
Daily Express

‘Deals with an important subject, which Tully has tackled with characteristic honesty. His considerable knowledge of the way in which India functions (and fails to function) provides him with the credentials to carry it off’ 
Literary Review

‘A very Indian excursion: meandering and intensely personal, frustrating, emotional and frequently despair-inducing, but it lit up those moments of sweetness, of hope, of humour and potent charm that anyone who knows India will recognize’ 
Spectator

‘In everything he writes, Tully’s sympathy for and knowledge of India shines through’ 
Geoffrey Moorhouse, Guardian
