Reader's Guide

"Coming from India, I am very familiar with diversity - we are a people divided by religion, caste, class, language, ethnicity, skin color and a host of other characteristics

Coming From India…

"Coming from India , I am very familiar with diversity - we are a people divided by religion, caste, class, language, ethnicity, skin color and a host of other characteristics. Any time such diverse populations live together - be it in a city or a neighborhood or a single apartment building, there is going to be tremendous friction. The challenge is to rise above our differences, to find the common threads that run through our shared human experiences. "Unity in Diversity" is the maxim that comes to mind - we have to make this work together, since there really is no other alternative."

Manil Suri
