Sammanfattning:The authors of this volume spent many years in India gaining insights and experiences from the unique vantage point of the journalist. Their collective knowledge spans the entire 50 years of independence. The essays offer a special look at India through the eyes of people who were paid to understand someting of it, and then to share that knowledge with a foreign audience. Their stories are intensely personal. Some of the authors still reside in India: most have long since left. All have enjoyed the privilege of extensively wandering India's cities and backwaters in search of news, of plunging into the murky depths of its politics and delving as best they can into its complex cultures. Each in his or her own way has sought to attune to the rhythms of the most amazing country on earth. These essays are their collective tribute.
