India continues to fascinate travellers who are, in the words of Dom Moraes, the editor of this anthology, ‘startled, annoyed and attracted by its colossal, inexplicable diversities’. In this book, travel writers—Indian and foreign, as well as compulsive wanderers without a home—engage with the comforts and the chaos, the convictions and the contradictions of modern, independent India. Beginning with a brilliantly insightful introduction by Dom Moraes, this anthology provides an absorbing, lively and always insightful portrait of life in contemporary India.
