520			_aA penetrating, personal look at contemporary India - a snapshot of the world's largest democracy at a moment of transition. The End of Karma explores India through the lens of young people from different worlds: a Maoist rebel; a woman killed because she married the 'wrong' man; a teenage girl who needles her dad to let her become a police officer. Driven by aspiration – and thwarted by state and society - they are making new demands on India's democracy for equality of opportunity, dignity for girls, and civil liberties. Somini Sengupta spotlights these stories of ordinary men and women, weaving together a ground-breaking portrait of a country in turmoil.
