India offers a truly authentic adventure for those from the western world - a
stimulating, absorbing, and sometimes daunting experience that can be both moving
and shocking.... This ancient, vast, and densely populated land is committed to the most
formidably challenging exercise in mass democracy, making it one of the world's great
dramas.
The spectacle is a mixture of hope, pride, paradox, and uncertainty, conducted openly to
India's credit. The lasting memories of the land are of hospitality, kindness, good
humour, and generosity. With a population of over 1 billion people, growing by a million
each month, India is divided and united by language, caste, religion, and regional
loyalties.
It has often been described as functioning anarchy, yet it is an amiable one,
characterized by marvellous fluidity and tolerance. The true Indian motif is not the Taj
Mahal, the elephant, or the patient peasant behind the ox-drawn plough, but rather the
crowd - the ocean of faces in the land of multitudes, endlessly stirring, pushing, and
moving. It is in this human circulation that one sees India's colour, variety, busyness,
and senses its power, vitality, and grandeur.
