Your English is perfectly fine. Thanks for the quick overview on the books. I haven't heard of any of them before. They sure sounds interesting and worth checking out!
Happy Holidays!

The review I read in the Guardian barely talks about the content of the book, and mostly talks about Peterson's ideology instead (in a negative way, which reflects how bad the left-right chasm is. This is not a book about politics)
Probably a good book to read to understand why Peterson has a lot of fans.

Your calculation is a bit off, it's around INR500,000(USD $7500)/year.
No doubt it's still a lot of money for a lot of people in India, but after adjusted for prices, it's really very little. Even cheap takeaway food would cost at least ¥300 ish.
