Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a first-hand account of the authorâs experience travelling through northern India. Initially part of a larger journey through the Himalayas for photographic purposes, the author quickly becomes enthralled with the history and culture of the people of Kulu and the surrounding areas. While the authorâs original intention was to capture the breathtaking landscapes in photographs, this book instead delves into the lives of the local people. The author eloquently imparts their impressions of the region, its history, and the impact of British presence and rule. At times referencing the greater context of the region, the author delves into topics such as the caste system, governance, and the ever-present issue of poverty. While not explicitly stated, there is an implication that the author believes the British presence in India is exploitative and unnecessary. The book exposes one travelerâs perspective on the complex relationship between Western society and its influence on Eastern cultures.
