Urban Voice: Indian Subcontinent edited by Sunil K Poolani
The book is a beautiful compilation of finely-crafted essays by well-known
writers from the Indian subcontinent. The essays range from why India does
not have primacy in Asia to the aroma of food. They mostly have a strong,
fresh content, often questioning the dominant paradigm. The language too is
good, as the editor singularly points out. The editor’s note says, every work
featured in the book is one of the best essays each writer has penned. And
the only criterion followed is that the essays had to be well written, regardless
of the topic.
The contributors in this volume include: Rehan Ansari, Sanjaya Baru, Dilip
Chitre, Aditha Dissanayake, Dilip D Souza, V Gangadhar, Ramachandra
Guha, Rohit Gupta, Kiron Kasbekar, Margaret Mascarenhas, Meena Menon,
Sevanti Ninan, Frederick Noronha, Aakar Patel, Dilip Raote, Kalpish Ratna, C
P Surendran and Suma Varughese.
The essays touch on a wide range of topical issues - communalism,
investigative journalism, the sexual abuse of minors. - The Telegraph
The essays offer a varied, enriching read, touching upon a number of facets
of everyday life. The distinguished contributors have penned some of their
best works.- The Free Press Journal
The essay as a literary form is almost extinct. Therefore, Urban Voice comes
as a pleasant surprise, and gives intellectual pleasure to the reader. -

The book forms a no-nonsense reading material for anyone who has a flair
for language and curiosity to understand the happenings.- I Arul Aram, Indian
