How well do immigrants from other countries adjust in the United
States after emigration? What talents and gifts do they bring to
their adopted country? Is their life in their adopted country much
different from what it would have been had they remained in their
native country?
In this collection of essays, author Dushyant Rajan examines his
life growing up in India in a military household with all the
benefits of an upper-middle-class upbringing in post-colonial
India. The essays describe Rajan's quest for heroic solutions to
life's everyday problems, the compelling forces which obstruct him
in his mission, his conclusions and resignations, and the beginning
of a fondness for the life he left in India.
Knots, Gnarls and Rough Bark includes stories about the
influence of important figures in his life: his maternal
grandfather, Nana, an avowed Anglophile; his father, an officer in
the Royal Air Force and the Indian Army from which he retired as an
artillery Brigadier; and his mother, the Brigadier's wife.
Colorful and insightful, these essays provide a broad world
view from the eyes of this intrepid author who concludes that
whether in the United States or in India, life presents the same
blessings and curses.
