Most of the NRIs write about same grossly anachronistic subjects. Here the subject is reincarnation of "Kali". One reason could be that they carry the impression (snapshot) of India when they emmigrated. These books are read by elite circles. What image does it portray of Indians outside? I think they are just catering to western readers who still think that India is a land of elephants, lions, snakes, etc. and would expect such subjects in a book on India. What they forget is urban indian is as sophisticated as most of our desis/westerrners out there. We are not bunch of superstitious people but intelligent ones. Somehow I think in western countries povery is associated with low intellect. They fail to realize though we might be poor, we are as much intelligent as they are.
my suggestion first become famous then brouahh about others and india i hate these NRIS they think theyre super but the fact of the matter i find them so dated as i am here for soemwork and anm surprised to see their real picture here ...confused desis very apt for them

Yeah, well said. Who is this lady? Just another author of thousands of books published every week. Wah... rediff has been very generous in publishing such a article and us too for going through the whole thing to see what is this all about.
