Readings From an India Journal

When you read this book you will know, as the old Bollywood song goes, “Yeh mera India (This is my India). I love my India.” These one hundred and one essays were written about particular people and places and situations. Mostly for my eyes only. Some for family and friends. A few as despatches to my Rotary club in Seattle. Now they are yours. Enjoy them and write to me about them. wcrain@uw.edu. I’ve made strong statements in some of these journal entries. I fear the continuance of many of the problems which plague human society. Even as I write today here in Bishkek I am worried about relationships between Kyrgyzstan and our neighbour Uzbekistan. Yet I live in hope expectant of a glorious future not only for India but for all of human society.
