Product Description

India Today (Reviewer Sunil Sethi)

Hankin...crams it like a curiosity shop,an indophile
Disneyland.

Independent on Sunday July 2003 London

Mr Hankin has gone about collecting words for his glossary
with the same inspired eccentricity as Hobson-Jobson's
orginal authors..

Happy Chhappy 29 Sep 2009
By C. Ross
Format:Paperback
Be still my heart - this is even better than Hobson - but together they form the perfect basis for navigating India - then and now. I LOVE Hanklyn. More than Hobson - more than I can even express in plain language. I am writing a novel set in Bombay and this is the answer to the necessary dialogue and mindsets of my characters. Nigel Hanklyn should live forever in the heart of Indiaphiles everywhere. He has a place in mine.

Fun Yet Expert 3 Jan 2007
By Bruce - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I spent a day with the author, being given a tour of New Delhi. His obvious expertise and knowledge of all things Indian transfers directly into his volume which is an entertaining and authoritative read. I am constantly dipping into it, even after five + years, and using it as a reference resource but it is also a volume which makes for leisurely reading. If you enjoy words just for the heck of it, then this is a book you will appreciate. Especially given a surprising number of words have come into our idiom from the sub continent.
