JOURNEYS OF DISCOVERY : ANCESTRAL SEARCHES IN INDIA

	Journeys Of Discovery : Ancestral Searches In India by Shubha Singh
	Price : Rs 495.00
	Your Price : Rs 495.00

A plaintive request for advice on how to trace ancestral origins from an overseas Indian led to the writing of Journeys of Discovery. Whether presidents, prime ministers, professionals or small farmers, Indians settled abroad share a similar desire to trace their origins and connect with India. For some it is a passionate search for an identity, but the absence of a strong genealogical tradition in India makes tracing the old roots a difficult task.
The book relates the intensely human stories of overseas Indians who have traced their ancestral homes in India. These are journeys into the past following the unwritten narratives of the great Indian diaspora, poignant accounts of a brutal dislocation, the struggles and the eventual triumph over circumstances. Author has deftly intertwined the compelling narratives of the relocations and the journeys with practical advice on how to carry out the searches to make an engrossing book.
