Aims to lead the business traveller or tourist through the maze of Indian social, political and religious life while providing information on health, money, food and drink, accommodation and travel. The book includes a "potted" history of India.
This book introduces the reader to the complex richness of modern India, a country where the visitors may not only find religious virtuosos contorting themselves beside holy rivers, but where he or she might also encounter India's answer to the Yuppie - the Puppy (Punjabi Urban Professional). India has a space programme, the atomic bomb and huge armed forces equipped with the latest military technology, yet the cow is still venerated and it is not unknown for prominent figures from public life to vanish, only later to announce that they have renounced the world and have decided to devote the rest of their lives to religious exercises. "Coping with India" aims to lead the business traveller or tourist through a maze of Indian social, political and religious life while providing useful information on health, money, food and drink, accommodation and travel.
