About The Book The author of the book does not claim to provide any new information about the people, customs, and sports of India, as they have been described by other writers. The book is simply a record of the author's pleasant time spent in the country, and if it inspires others to visit, the author believes they will not regret it. The author looks forward to revisiting India and their friends there. The author omits a part of their travels in which they were regarded as having an official capacity, as they were not traveling independently, to avoid any potential bias in their views and opinions.
