Description: Embark on an illuminating, cross-country journey into the complex botanical, spiritual, and cultural landscape of a plant woven deeply into the fabric of the subcontinent. Published by Rupa Publications India, Ananda: An Exploration of Cannabis in India by acclaimed writer and journalist Karan Madhok stands as the first major, comprehensive study of cannabis within the Indian context—offering a lively, meticulously researched, and occasionally trippy account of a substance that remains profoundly misunderstood.
Cannabis, historically known across the country as ganja, bhang, or charas, is practically as old as recorded Indian civilization. References to its properties are embedded within ancient Vedic scriptures and complex mythological traditions, where it is celebrated for providing ananda (divine bliss) or vijaya (victory) over the heavy cares and ills of the material world. Native strains of the plant grow as freely as wild weeds, blanketing the countryside across numerous Indian states. Yet, despite its deep historical roots, modern legislation and shifting social taboos have relegated it to a shadowy, imperfectly understood legal gray area.
To uncover the ground reality, Madhok hits the road on an investigative travelogue, tracking down legendary regional strains and exploring the subcultures that surround them:
