Dangal is an extraordinary true story based on the life of Mahavir Singh and his two daughters, Geeta and Babita Phogat. The film traces the inspirational journey of a father who trains his daughters to become world class wrestlers.

This is a candid attempt that delves into the ideas and perspectives at the local level in trying to understand the global implications of the rise of China’s provinces and India’s states and what that means for Americans and Europeans doing business and conducting diplomacy.

British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways as the residents find new purpose in their old age.

我叫拉姆•穆罕默德•托马斯，是一个孟买的孤儿。
我被捕了，因为我在一个电视竞猜节目中赢了10亿卢比的巨奖，而他们都认为作弊了。理由很简单：一个贫民窟孩子的知识怎么可能可能如此渊博？就在我被残忍折磨的时候，一个美丽的女律师出现解救了我。我向她讲述了我的神奇经历，从孤儿院到妓院，从列车劫匪到丐帮头目，我所经历的每一种苦难，都成为了最宝贵的财富。
《贫民窟的百万富翁》充满了纷繁芜杂的喜剧、惊心动魄的悲剧，以及现代印度催人泪下的迷乱气氛……这部作品不光节奏极快，情节跌宕起伏，内容也异常丰富。
同名电影保留了小说的框架，却无法展现小说中深远的印度风情和复杂的情节、人物关系。只有看过了原著，你才能真正理解这个故事的内涵。

From Pulitzer Prize-winner Katherine Boo, a landmark work of narrative nonfiction that tells the dramatic and sometimes heartbreaking story of families striving toward a better life in one of the twenty-first century’s great, unequal cities.

In this brilliantly written, fast-paced book, based on three years of uncompromising reporting, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human.

Annawadi is a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport, and as India starts to prosper, Annawadians are electric with hope. Abdul, a reflective and enterprising Muslim teenager, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Asha, a woman of formidable wit and deep scars from a childhood in rural poverty, has identified an alternate route to the middle class: political corruption. With a little luck, her sensitive, beautiful daughter—Annawadi’s “most-everything girl”—will soon become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest Annawadians, like Kalu, a fifteen-year-old scrap-metal thief, believe themselves inching closer to the good lives and good times they call “the full enjoy.”

But then Abdul the garbage sorter is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and a global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power and economic envy turn brutal. As the tenderest individual hopes intersect with the greatest global truths, the true contours of a competitive age are revealed. And so, too, are the imaginations and courage of the people of Annawadi.

With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects human beings to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the Beautiful Forevers carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds, and into the lives of people impossible to forget.
