Black, White and Various Shades of Brown is the print debut of Sulekha.com, the largest online community for Indians worldwide. Selected by the Sulekha community from nearly 1200 writings published on the site since 1999, these essays depict what it is to be the international Indian: as comfortable eating bagels in Boston as bhelpuri in Bandra. This eclectic collection contains irreverent takes on just about everything, from arranged marriage to Vedanta, as well as tales told with heartfelt sincerity on being adopted, being female or being Muslim in today’s India. From the delicately subversive humour of a Kolkata-based industrialist to the sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious angst of engineers in California, from the anarchic world of dotcom entrepreneurs to the forgotten world of Anglo-Indians, Black, White and Various Shades of Brown takes you on the global cultural ride of a life time.
