First line
From the jacket flap
As she has proved in three previous books--her wry take on the marketing of the mystic East in "Karma Cola; the rich historical saga of "Raj; and the beguiling tales of "A River Sutra--there is no better guide to India's multihued mosaic than Gita Mehta. She knows India in all its rich detail--its folkways and history, its culture and politics, its ancient traditions and current concerns. In "Snakes and Ladders, she gives a loving but unflinching assessment of India today, in an account that is entertaining, informative, and wholly personal.
