Amitav Ghosh on Cyclone Nargis: High tech alone can’t save us! 11 May 2008 — Nalaka Gunawardene Whenever Burma hits the international news headlines, I think of author Amitav Ghosh. His 2002 historical novel, The Glass Palace, was my introduction to Burma’s recent history. It describes - with historical accuracy and detail - how the British colonised a land of prosperity in 1824 and left it an impoverished nation in 1948. I was intrigued, therefore, to read an excellent op ed essay by Amitav Ghosh in The New York Times of 10 May 2008.
