I'd like to read some books that will give me a better idea of the different areas of India in terms of the culture, what travel is like, and what life is like for people who live there. They must be from recent times (let's say the last decade) and can be either fiction or memoirs as long as they give an accurate and balanced portrayal of what they're describing. I'm not interested in books written from a privileged perspective that romanticise everything and ignore anything unpleasant, or books that perpetuate stereotypes and othering. Thank you for anyy recommendations you can give me.
