The West has seen India always through coloured glasses. Of course, the colour has always been of their choice. In this remarkable book, Dhan Gopal Mukerji presents India of those times, as seen through the ordinary Indian's eyes. His anguish on the developments around him and his sweet little anxieties for the future of his country are the fine trendrils with which this remarkable piece of literature is woven.
