Book Summary
Political and Incorrect: The Real India, Warts and All is a sharp compilation of Tavleen Singh’s weekly political columns written between 1987 and 2007 for The Indian Express and syndicated publications. The essays form a contemporaneous record of Indian politics across two pivotal decades—capturing communal tensions, dynastic struggles, corruption, caste-based politics, terrorism, bureaucratic inertia, and class divides. Singh writes as events unfolded—with immediacy, foreseeing developments that shaped the 2000s and early 2010s. Her commentary brings policymakers and party functionaries into relief, treating them with the same direct scrutiny reserved for the everyday citizen. The result is a vivid, candid snapshot of India in transformation, presented with irony, analytical clarity, and no nostalgic filter.
Readers praise the book for its unflinching honesty and rigorous observation. One Goodreads reviewer notes the writing as “hard‑hitting as they are … supported by facts,” while also cautioning that those unfamiliar with the political context of the era may find parts less accessible .
