India Handbook: 2000

Discover India, one of the most richly rewarding regions of the world, with this comprehensive and up-to-date guide. Written by Robert Bradnock, an international authority, it will ensure a trip of a lifetime.

Robert Bradnock is an international authority on India. He was born in India in 1943 and went back overland in 1966 as a research student at Cambridge to live in South India for a year. That journey was the first of many visits living and working throughout the sub-continent. He is a senior lecturer at the University of London's world famous School or Oriental and African Studies. Roma Das Bradnock, a Bengali by birth, was brought up in Calcutta where she graduated in English. Roma's Hindi and Bengali and Robert's basic Tamil see them through even remote corners comfortably.
