It is now an established fact that the ‘Indians are everywhere’. You find an Indian in practically every part of the world, and the book “The Itinerant Indian” showcases the travelling Indian and the Indians residing all over the world. It is an excellent collection of short articles written by Indians living or travelling abroad, and some of them are about the non-resident describing their feelings of returning to India.
There are stories from every part of world, including the Arctic, Antarctica, the down under and more popular places like the North America and Europe. Some of the stories are incredibly funny and keep you engaged. You get to read about the Indians who made friends by speaking in Kannada or trying to learning to make Sambar in Canada, and being chased by camels in the deserts of the middle east or trying to convince an American Indian at the wild west that there is another kind of Indian! Each one of the stories, besides being funny, makes interesting read and keeps you hooked. A book worth reading for every travel buff from India, whether or not you intend to travel abroad.
