A person like me who has got an opportunity to learn what is India from the text books crafted by Indian Educational system then living the growing up days traveling from east to west of this piece of land experiencing its virtue, its good, bad and ugly, and then realize how different its from the text book version. Also get exposed little bit of spiritual aspect of this country, which I personally believe is the true essence of India. Then life thrown me out this country and gave an opportunity to see and experience the world outside. At the same time tried keep in touch with all the conflicts of recent days with politically correct liberal statements questing very existence of this piece of land. Also seeing ideas and life style from outside spreading over remote corner of this piece of land, in name of global village, when value and tradition being challenged everyday.
Then looking around desperately for some resource which I can tell somebody to refer to create a close enough picture in mind of my India, probably these will be the one :
