No full stops in India (Mark Tully) May 18, 2007
Mark Tully’s “No Full Stops in India” takes stock of various sociocultural aspects of India. He delves in detail about religious hypocrisies and contradictions. He talks about demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, Godhra incident, making of the TV series Ramayana amongst other topics touched by him. His culture shock and frustrations from religious fanaticism are seemingly evident.
The book presents further well researched topics by Tully such as suicide epidemic of Indian farmers, history of Kashmir which is tinged with tragedies, NGOs overclaiming/ exaggerating to get support, Tehelka scam not to forget his encounter with Chandrababu Naidu, the CM of Andhra Pradesh during his heyday when he was trying to convert AP into a cyber world for India. He concludes “India depicts miracles of order amongst chaos”.
