No Full Stops in India

£9.99

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 Sir Mark Tully has woven a superb series of 'stories' that make up “No Full Stops in India”, which explores Calcutta, from the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad (probably the biggest religious festival in the world) to the televising of a Hindu epic.

Throughout, Tully combines analysis of major issues with a feel for the fine texture and human realities of Indian life.

'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".
