Witty and tactful. Persistent and prudent. No ordinary stories these, but 16 tales of great contrasts from various regions of India that have perennial appeal.

India takes the lid off this cultural melting pot, showing how past events have shaped this diverse but unified nation, where tradition and modernity successfully coexist.
