An elderly passenger looked at him and said, \"We're all trying to go that way,\" pointing to the rear. \"You, you're going this way?\"Giridharadas was returning to the land of his ancestors, amid an unlikely economic boom. But he was more interested in its cultural upheaval, as a new generation has sought to reconcile old traditions and customs with new ambitions and dreams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eIndia Calling\u003c\/i\u003e, he brings to life the people and the dilemmas of India today, through the prism of his émigré family history and his childhood memories of India. He introduces us to entrepreneurs, radicals, industrialists, and religious seekers, but, most of all, to Indian families.
