Indian Narratives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481784399)

The motives for writing this book were manifold and the stories originate from a period of about 12 years. Maybe Paul Burkler could the long period of more than 20 years in India use to survive only because he worked volunteered as an engineer without wages.
