Six colourful, comic characters inhabit A Backward Place. All but
one are Westerners who have come to Delhi to experience an
alternative way of life. But, far from being hippies, their ability
to adapt to this exotic culture often leaves something to be
desired. Etta, an aristocratic, faded beauty maintains her Parisian
chic while Clarissa talks enthusiastically about the simple life
but stops short of ever roughing it herself. On the other hand Bal,
the one Indian protagonist, holds quite Western aspirations to
Hollywood glamour. A Backward Place humorously explores
contradictions in attitudes and lifestyles and the interplay
between culture and individuality. But it is also a Dickensian
drama, charting the highs and lows of everyday life against the
enchanting backdrop of a bustling Indian city.
