In Truck De India!, journalist Rajat Ubhaykar embarks on a 10,000 km-long, 100%
unplanned trip, hitchhiking with truckers all across India. On the way, he makes
unexpected friendships; listens to highway ghost stories; discovers the
near-fatal consequences of overloading trucks; documents the fascinating
tradition of truck art in Punjab; travels alongside nomadic shepherds in
Kashmir; encounters endemic corruption repeatedly; survives NH39, the
insurgent-ridden highway through Nagaland and Manipur; and is unfailingly
greeted by the unconditional kindness of perfect strangers.
Imbued with humour, empathy, and a keen sense of history, Truck De India! is a
travelogue like no other you've read. It is the story of India, and Indians, on
the road.
