The Great Derangement
In ‘The Great Derangement'‘, Amitav Gosh asks uncomfortable questions about climate change and its consequences on the poor.
What would happen if a category four or five cyclone were to hit Mumbai? Can we imagine the catastrophic death and destruction? If the Bhabha Atomic Research Center at Trombay was deluged in water, how would India cope with the nuclear aftermath? Will future generations look back and think us colosally deranged for failing to tackle the greatest challenges of our times?
