![]() ![]() When I first moved to the US in the early 1980s, India was commonly seen as a land of crushing poverty laced with an exotic spirituality and mysticism. It is like to trying to guess an elephant while peeking through a tiny window. Not because I think India has not changed, but because I think trend-watchers like him tend to miss the whole picture. Although I liked knowing that a technology manager such as my boss was plugged into the new image of India, I don't agree with his view. The implication was that India has changed so much in recent years that any book written over a decade ago must be passe. This book was written in the late 1980s by Elisabeth Bumiller who is now a reporter for the New York Times. ![]() "Irreverent and spiritual" is not an oxymoron! These are words that best describe this book.Ī few months back my boss saw me reading May You Be the Mother of a Hundred Sons during my lunch break. ![]()
