Whole Numbers and Half Truths: What Data Can and Cannot Tell Us About Modern India is a work of data journalism by Rukmini S that examines India through the discipline of evidence, reporting, and statistical interpretation. Rather than treating numbers as neutral facts, the book asks how data is collected, what it leaves out, and how it can be shaped by political incentives, institutional limits, or public assumptions. Built on years of field reporting, it uses accessible analysis to challenge common ideas about Indian voters, migration, population growth, diet, crime, and social change. The central purpose of the book is not simply to supply more statistics, but to teach readers how to read data critically and to recognize when numbers clarify reality and when they obscure it. In doing so, the book offers a sharper understanding of modern India than broad slogans or simplified headlines usually provide.
