The Upside-Down Tree: India's Changing Culture

The Upside-down Tree presents "the 'other' India, beyond the call centers of Bangalore and Delhi and Westernized cities like Mumbai -- a huge slice of humanity that remains invisible and impenetrable to most Americans. Exploring the realities of agriculture, business, the environment, politics, the economy, marriage, language and the arts, the author introduces the real people of India. At the heart of each chapter lies an epiphany about Indian culture -- Copernican intellectual shifts, radical reverses in the way the author made sense of the environment when the evidence seemed to support one conclusion but further experience pointed to a different answer.
