Fiction Family Life
Anand Giridharadas sensed something was afoot as his plane
from America prepared to land in Bombay. An elderly
passenger looked at him and said, "We're all trying to go
that way," pointing to the rear. "You, you're going this
way?"Giridharadas was returning to the land of his
ancestors, amid an unlikely economic boom. But he was more
interested in its cultural upheaval, as a new generation has
sought to reconcile old traditions and customs with new
ambitions and dreams. In India Calling, he brings to life the people and the
dilemmas of India today, through the prism of his émigré
family history and his childhood memories of India. He
introduces us to entrepreneurs, radicals, industrialists,
and religious seekers, but, most of all, to Indian families.
Through their stories, and his own, he paints an intimate
portrait of a country becoming modern while striving to
remain itself.
