India Calling by Anand Giridharadas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Just finished this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While I found the descriptions and stories of Indian modern culture enlightening and amusing, I thought that the deeper themes of being born to immigrant parents; seeing the "mother country" as a myth described in stories told my parents; realizing that the stories told by your parents is not the present day culture (they're view is totally old school); and being the foreigner in your country of origin captivated my attention and engrossed me in this book. It's a great book and I highly recommend it! The writing pulls you in from the first page.
