- Barkha Dutt, This Unquiet Land--Stories from India's Fault Lines

In the past, Dutt has been a participant in India's gender debate, talking about women's safety, the kind of commentary that exists about the same, and the tone of voice surrounding remarks of the same, albeit in a more urban, upper class context that might not fully translate to more parts of India. And in that particular context, her recent book brings another personal account to the table as she shares her own experience--something that isn't easy to talk about, especially not in a nation-wide published book.
