About this product

Product Information

Not for Norman Lewis the tourist sights of Delhi and Rajasthan. His travels in India begin in the impoverished, overpopulated and corrupt state of Bihar, scene of a brutal caste war between the untouchables and higher-caste gangsters. From these violent happenings, he heads down the west coast of Bengal and into the highlands of Orissa to testify to the life of the caste-free indigenous 'tribals', who have survived here in isolation. There is much to be learned from these threatened cultures and Lewis is the perfect guide. 'Norman Lewis's best travel book, beautifully written and containing information about areas and tribes of India that I have never read elsewhere.' - Nicholas Coleridge, Literary Review
