About this book
<p>India�s Westernized elite, cut off from local traditions, �want to write a full stop in a land where there are no full stops�. From that striking insight Mark Tully has woven a superb series of �stories� which explore Calcutta, from the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad (probably the biggest religious festival in the world) to the televising of a Hindu epic. Throughout, he combines analysis of major issues with a feel for the fine texture and human realities of Indian life. The result is a revelation.</p><p> </p><p> 'The ten essays, written with clarity, warmth of feeling and critical balance and understanding, provide as lively a view as one can hope for of the panorama of India.� K. Natwar-Singh in the <i>Financial Times</i></p>
