Publishers Weekly
An engaging collection . . . Tharoor’s ready wit and sympathetic insight combine in a fascinating portrait of Indian society.
India Currents
Kirkus Reviews
Fans of Tharoor’s prior coverage of Indian history and culture will be pleased. . . . While the author provides a carefully considered examination of what it means to be Indian, he is also a pop-culture junkie, and subsequent passages offer a mixture of humorous anecdotes from the author’s life and general musings on India’s adaptation to life in the 21st century. . . . Each article is well-written, and Tharoor is a charming and knowledgeable guide. . . . Entertaining and informative.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“Readers not familiar with India will find this an illuminating study. . . . Impressive . . . compelling. . . This is a book worth reading.”
