India Analysed recounts the life and ideas of Sudhir Kakar in his own words and, in the process, gives readers an insight into the psychological make-up of modern Indian.

Looks at the interplay between spirit and psyche and the moments of creativity and transformation that occur when the spirit overcomes desire and narcissism. This book examines this relationship in religious rituals and healing traditions - both Eastern and Western - as well as in the lives of some extraordinary men.
