Media Reviews
Informative and a useful addition to the study of the Indian subcontinent. || This book is a refreshing change from the many detailed, often tedious, accounts of life in a foreign country. || Beautifully photographed pictorial alphabet which replaces Kiplingesque view of the Subcontinent with vibrant images of contemporary Indian life.
