The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy depicts the author’s life and the problems that she faces and continues to see in today’s world. The book focuses on two primary regions: India and Pakistan. The author focuses on the conflict that has preoccupied the towns of Delhi and Kashmir.

The story starts with the killing of vultures using poison, which is synonymous with how India has been ruined by corrupt leaders and societal issues such as religious discrimination. All these issues have resulted in many people in the region being killed. The author focuses on issues of class, gender, faith, and death.

Despite the book being well written, it lacks plot. Nonetheless, it has various elements, such as humor, and includes themes such as death. After reading it, I felt like the book had too many characters. Therefore, it was difficult to keep up with the main point of the book as the author primarily focuses on the descriptions of their past. Nonetheless, it provides insights into the political history of India and helps one to understand the country’s progress after many years of darkness. Moreover, the author shows that there is hope for a better future.
