The three-thousand-year-old epic Ramayana chronicles Lord Rama's
physical voyage from one end of the Indian subcontinent to the
other and his spiritual voyage from Man to God. In Arrow of the
Blue-Skinned God, anthropologist and journalist Jonah Blank gives a
new perspective to this Hindu classic -- retelling the ancient tale
while following the course of Rama's journey through present-day
India and Sri Lanka. Ultimately, Blank's journey -- like that of
Lord Rama -- evolves into a quest: to understand the chimerical
essence of India itself, in all its overwhelming beauty and
paradox. Quite possibly the most perceptive book that I have come
across on India since the British Raj ended. -- Pranay Gupte, The
Washington Post; What Hollywood attempted on the big screen with
casts of thousands in Gandhi and A Passage to India, Jonah Blank
has achieved in 350 stylistically rich pages. -- Los Angeles Times;
This informative and entertaining book is something to be thankful
for. -- The New York Times Book Review
