Indian
Journeys
A country the size of a continent, home to a sixth of
humanity. An ancient civilization that is also a modern
democratic republic only half a century old. A nation
that is several countries in one. As in ages past, India
continues to fascinate travellers who are, in the words
of Dom Moraes, the editor of this anthology, ‘startled,
annoyed, and attracted by its colossal, inexplicable
diversities’. More has been written about it than
any other Asian country. |

is viewed as an oddity, singledom comes with challenges:
dealing with uncomfortable questions from well-meaning
relatives and friends; the hushed whispers; the envy;
and, of course, the unwanted attention from those who
think singles are people of dubious morals. |
