Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Poorly writtenAlthough this book provides insights into the culture and life of modern India, it is very poorly written. The prose is choppy and uninspiring. Mark Tully should stick to journalism. If you like to read good prose, do not buy this book. Rating: - Very thoughtfulExcellent book, which explores a number of encounters which Mark Tully has had in his many years in India. He covers the practise of Sati excellently, an gives a real eye-opener to those of us to have misunderstood its nature and popularity. A very thoughtful book, written by someone who obviously understands a great deal about the Indian people. Rating:  - No one like Mark TullyThere is a little anecdote about Mark Tully from the days before television. If you went to an Indian village and said you were from BBC, they would ask if you were Mark Tully. If the answer was No, the villagers were disappointed. Such is the charm of Mark Tully and the place he enjoys in hearts and minds of many Indians, who grew up listening to BBC on AM radio. This book is most interesting in that it is a truthful depiction of the diversity and the finer nuances of India, normally visible or intelligible only to the most sensitive and intelligent of Indian minds and blocked out by most of the middle class, obscured by the daily struggle of living. He touches upon various themes including the continued stigma of untouchability ... Read More: Rating: - Extraordinary insight in to the life in indiaThis book is an eye openenr for every indian. It throws open new ways of looking at things happening in India. The life , culture and socail fabric have been picturised with a deep insight into the subject. Mark Tully makes the reader think and arrive at his conclusion leaving a deep impression of his thoughts. Rating: - Beautiful portrayal of some aspects of IndiaI am a typical modern Indian youth who knows his science and math well but doesn't have a clue about his culture or way of life. This book sparked my interest in learning about my own culture and appreciating it. |
