On December 11,2019 the Narendra Modi government in India enacted the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) which makes it easier to grant Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from the named Islamic countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan where they continue to be persecuted.

On December 11,2019 the Narendra Modi government in India enacted the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) which makes it easier to grant Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from the named Islamic countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan where they continue to be persecuted. This simple humanitarian act provoked unrest, violent in parts, in certain sections of Indian society and raised eyebrows abroad- a response to a great degree prompted by lack of information and misrepresentation.
The CAA is being projected, again falsely, as a prelude to a possible National Register of Citizens (The NRC which is years or decades in the offing) which will then supposedly be used to target Muslims in particular. None of this even subscribes to basic common sense.
The degree of ignorance that drives public discourse in India is astounding. The anti CAA-NRC protests are no different.

In 1980, after completing medical school in India, a young Indian physician lands in Britain in pursuit of his dream to get to the United States. He is young, a full 26-year-old, ambitious and opinionated. The two and half years that he spends in Britain prior to coming to the United States were eventful years and this book captures that period It is set in Great Britain of the early 1980's and comprises a medley of experiences: of a young, nationalist Indian coming to the land of his colonial masters, a new medical graduate negotiating the travails of an international medical career and of an objective spectator looking down upon this once great power. Thrown into this unlikely cocktail is the political backdrop of Britain in the 80, s- the rise of Margaret Thatcher, the Royal Wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, the Falkland War and British racism.
