26:29Now PlayingA long-time correspondent who has reported from some twenty countries, work that earned her the 2004 George Polk Award for foreign reporting, Sengupta was The New York Times New Delhi bureau chief from 2005 to 2009, the first Indian American to hold the position. Drawing on her close observations of political and cultural events ranging from terrorism to Bollywood productions, Sengupta devotes her first book to profiling India’s restless young people and the obstacles they face, focusing on a Maoist rebel, a teenage girl wanting to become a police officer, and other unconventional figures.
Sengupta is in conversation with Kim Ghattas.
