So I've been reading up as part of my academic preparation for India. Currently, I'm working on In Spite of The Gods and I have already read Freedom at Midnight. I guess I should first recommend these books! Seriously. I just finished this one chapter, and maybe I'm just naive, but some of the stuff really hit me. The passage was about corruption in the Indian government (not to get all political, but where isn't there corruption), and some of the cases mention were just so... raw. Things just really seem to be put into perspective through my Indian experiences, although I'm not actually in India yet. I've been told over and over how students who go to India come back different. I guess I kind of just brushed it off. I guess its time to put that to the test.
