INGLISTAN is a novel. Its main protagonist Rabi is an Indian lawyer, who comes to New College, Oxford to do a six-month diploma in Human Rights Law. The novel chronicles the high and low points of his half-year through his interaction with relatives long settled in England, former Indian friends now based there, and students who represent British, American, European and other nationalities. He falls in love with an English girl and for some time it appears that the story will follow on the lines of the tragic affair his great uncle had with a European woman years earlier.

Review
"If Westerners could journey to the East and write books on China, Japan and India, there was no reason why someone travelling the other way should not be able to do so as well," says passing protagonist Ashok, and indeed Talwar's book is all about cultural comparisons.
The Hindu Literary Review
In the six months that Rabi spends in England, he meets a myriad of characters. Partly a cultural critique... (t)he writer describes the Jats as the Germans of Europe and the Bengalis as the French!
The Sunday Tribune
The Yudhishtar episode is sketched very poignantly...
