Synopsis

Essays exploring societal changes in India and abroad—such as the inherent jealousy of Indians in the United States and the glue of anticommunism that used to bind the Western world—through the eyes of an Indian emigrant are presented in this provocative collection. Affirmative action, the meaning of the word “liberal,” parliamentary democracy, and the caste system are also discussed.
