What We Think

‘2 States’ is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It pokes fun at cultural quirks, but does so with heart and nuance rather than pushing ideology. A breezy read where traditional values are part of the journey, not just a punchline.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story primarily revolves around realistic characters with believable flaws, centering on cultural differences between two families rather than identity politics. There is no apparent emphasis on ideology over organic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the book gently pokes at stereotypes of religion, family, and tradition, it ultimately treats both North and South Indian heritages with respect and affection. Traditional values and familial bonds are never truly undermined or mocked, just playfully challenged.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The book presents multiple perspectives and significant family disagreement, avoiding an echo-chamber. Characters represent a spectrum of values, and the conclusion is about compromise, not monoculture.
