520 _aI started thinking about this book in 2014 after Indian voters, including my own friends and relatives, elected Hindu supremacists to power, and Islamic State became a magnet for young men and women in Western democracies. I finished writing it during the week in 2016 in which Britain voted to leave the European Union. It went to the printers in the week that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. Each of these earthquakes revealed fault lines that I felt had been barely noticed over the years, running through inner lives as well as nations, communities and families. The pages that follow try to make sense of bewildering, and often painful, experiences by ­re‑­examining a divided modern world, this time from the perspective of those who came late to it, and felt, as many people do now, left, or pushed, behind. https://www.juggernaut.in/books/8884f246b1ff4969b59e2e28c9ba31c2
