商品描述内容简介India's Westernized elite, cut off from local traditions, 'want to write a full stop in a land where there are no full stops'. From that striking insight Mark Tully has woven a superb series of 'stories' which explore Calcutta, from the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad (probably the biggest religious festival in the world) to the televising of a Hindu epic. Throughout, he combines analysis of major issues with a feel for the fine texture and human realities of Indian life. The result is a revelation. 'The ten essays, written with clarity, warmth of feeling and critical balance and understanding, provide as lively a view as one can hope for of the panorama of India' - K. Natwar-Singh in the "Financial Times".目录Ram Chander's story; the new colonialism; the Kumbh Mela; the rewriting of the "Ramayan" operation Black Thunder; communisim in Calcutta; the Deorala Sati; typhoon in Ahmedabad; the return of the artist; the defeat of a congressman; epilogue - 21 May 1991.
