James Cameron was no stranger to India when he travelled there with his wife in 1972. His work as journalist and his new family brought him a closer understanding of the country he already loved. He also met new people, travelled to unfamilar areas and witnessed the changes that Independence had brought. With this fresh eye he saw kindness and corruption, beauty and filth, impossible bureaucracy and profound humanity. This text tells of his experiences.

A journey into the psyche of India. A very human perspective that makes one feel one is there. A first hand account of a real place with real people. He expresses profound exasperation at polices of governments that sacrifice the lives of many thousands of ordinary people in the pursuit of self-interest, expediency and power politics. He met and talked to Gandhi, a very lucky man. He admits in a round about way of being a little bit left of centre, though he was labelled a communist when he was a young man, not a lefty more a humanist who sees and writes about the world around him. He could be accused of being the English man abroad, but I think that would be unfair to say the least. Please read it.

Had read the book many years before and had remembered some of the anecdotes it contained. Therefore took the opportunity to revist the volume.
It arrived quickly and in excellent condition and it has been really worthwhile rereading it.
