They say India changes lives; because it is more than a country, it is a state of mind. Come on a fascinating journey with Andreas H. Bitesnich as he explores all aspects of existence in India today. With sensitivity, understanding, and unique vision, Bitesnich uncovers the contradictions at the core of a nation"s soul, probing the ongoing changes of modernization on the subcontinent as well as its lingering economic hardships, and documenting all facets of life, death, and daily struggle. His muted shades, wide-ranging subjects, and subtle colorization are reminiscent of a bygone travel album. But this isn"t just a book of compelling photographs. It is a tribute to a great nation that exults in both its modernity and heritage with equal fervor.
