Unequal by Swati Narayan is a compelling exploration of social inequality in India, revealed through meticulous research and immersive reporting across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Drawing on five years of study, Narayan demonstrates how India lags behind even its poorer neighbors in key social indicators like health, education, sanitation, and gender equality. Through a mix of hard data, human stories, and empathetic analysis, the book highlights the stark disparities within India while offering hope from the successes of states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Unequal is an essential read for policymakers, scholars, and anyone seeking to understand the challenges and possibilities of social transformation in South Asia.
