"The authors parents, from India, lived a comfortable, professional life in the U.S. Shaker Heights Ohio, Giridharadas says, was a warm and generous place. While growing up, Giridharadas recognized his mother and fathers continued love of their ancestral homeland, but at the same time he witnessed that they accepted and came to savor the American way of life. Hearing an inner call to reverse the migration process of his folks, he flew, as a new college graduate, to Mumbai to work, having already secured a position in the local office of an American management-consulting firm. He plunged into Indian life in the midst of the countrys awakening as an economc and technological giant, as an ancient culture surfacing as a world power. The author is now a New York Times and International Herald Tribune columnist stationed in India. His perambulations around the subcontinent have revealed to him significant aspects of Indias changes to meet modern ways, and this anecdote-rich account of what he did and saw is as well expressed as it is well informed."
