• “And then, thanks to all those politicians in Delhi, on the fifteenth of August, 1947 - the day the British left - the cages had been let open; and the animals had attacked and ripped each other apart and jungle law replaced zoo law. Those that were the most ferocious, the hungriest, had eaten everyone else up, and grown big bellies. That was all that counted now, the size of your belly. It didn’t matter whether you were a woman, or a Muslim, or an untouchable: anyone with a belly could rise up.”

  Balram

• “Electricity poles - defunct. Water tap - broken. Children - too lean and short for their age, and with oversized heads from which vivid eyes shine, like the guilty conscience of the government of India.”

  Balram

• “"What a fucking joke."”
