Yes. It is a good one. For me India: A Wounded Civilization by Naipaul was even better. It is also from his India trilogy. I have read it a couple of times and even today I read a few pages. Highly recommended if you are open minded. A few people to whom I recommended it were quite offended. I guess that is because Naipaul has sharp eyes and blunt way of putting his observations.
