As William Dalrymple was told again and again on his travels around the Indian subcontinent, the region is now in the throes of the Kali Yug, the Age of Kali, an epoch of darkness and disintegration." "The Age of Kali is the distillation of ten years relentless travelling around the length and breadth of the subcontinent, from the fortresses of the drug barons of the North-West Frontier to the jungle lairs of the Tamil Tigers, from the decaying palaces of Hyderabad to the Keralan exorcist temple of the bloodthirsty goddess Parashakti.
