Editorial Review: "Hiro (The Longest August) develops a dense, intriguing analysis of India’s complex sociopolitical climate since 1991, when the country launched extensive neoliberal reforms. The book reveals the gap between astonishing technological developments and the worsening status of the poor. While appreciative of the information technology education that gives Indian students a competitive edge throughout the world, Hiro points out that ‘the benefits of the boom have gone to those at the top and the middle, leaving the bottom stagnating.’" —Publishers Weekly "[M]eticulously researched and exhaustively detailed . . . Hiro’s work provides a stunning indictment of the fashionable idea echoed endlessly by mainstream pundits of a politically and economically healthy, thriving, democratic India. . . . The Age of Aspiration is replete with colorful and sordid tales of sleaze and corruption that follow politicians and businessmen alike. . . . Hiro’s narrative provides a compelling case for just how distorted of a ‘democracy’ India has become." —In These Times "Hiro looks at the impact of globalization both on villagers and on the institutions involved, thus encompassing both the small and big pictures...Hiro examines the incredibly powerful Indian diaspora in Silicon Valley; and the continued role of the Maoist Naxalites... As comprehensive and knowledgeable as Hiro’s earlier Inside India Today (1977; reissued 2013).” —Kirkus Reviews
