Required Reading for ANYONE traveling to India |
India is a culture that is far outside the understanding of most westerners. This book was easy to read and understand and DEFINITELY helped us to respond, behave and act properly in a very foreign land.
The book is direct, concise and well written. We would recommend this to anyone visiting a culture that will appreciate the effort not to offend.
This book was really A+_. |

Very useful guide! |

This book is a fantastic reference to anyone who is doing business with India either as a buyer or a provider. It gives comprehensive information about the country and its culture and should be an always-in-hand guide. |
