A fascinating range of encounters—mental, physical and spiritual—of Australians with India over the past century and a half

Despite a shared history of British imperialism, and commonalities like the English language, a democratic polity and a craze for cricket, Australians and Indians know very little about each other. Of Sadhus and Spinners attempts to correct this with a range of stories that trace the chequered history of interactions between the two nations.

From John Lang`s `The Mohammedan Mother` (1859) to Yasmine Gooneratne`s `Masterpiece` (2002), the stories in this anthology bring to the fore a variety of literary responses to Indo-Australian encounters. There are stories here of Australian visitors to India and stories about and by Indians—immigrants or temporary visitors—in Australia.

Thoughtful, exploratory and often just wide-eyed in its observation of strange new worlds, the anthology provides insights into an array of fascinating cross-cultural encounters.
