I read this Westerner’s travel story about India on the Net. It was quite critical. In fact it was called “Trying Really Hard To Like India”!! But I loved it because it was very human. It was truthful and unbiased. It was not ‘India-bashing’ but it was neither ‘India-loving-blindly’!! Find it here.

I had read another article in the same vein sometime back. It was by an Indian in an Indian online newspaper (Business Standard – my daily read!) which was all the more surprising since Indians with a sense of healthy introspection at all the things wrong in India are as rare as snow leopards (are they extinct already?). It was called “ The Taj can go to sleep” by a certain Mr. Barun Roy.
